Alicia Baumgardner becomes unified champion of all four women's boxing organizations
Women's professional boxing super featherweight unified champion Alicia Baumgardner (29, USA) has tested positive for a banned substance.
The Associated Press reported on Sunday (Sept. 17) that Baumgardner's random drug test ahead of her bout with Cristina Linardatu (35, Dominican Republic) last month detected a banned substance, 토토 prompting her to undergo a full test.
Baumgardner's sample allegedly contained mesterolone and methenolone, a type of steroid.
Baumgardner won a unanimous decision over Linardatu on July 16 in Detroit, Michigan.
After being informed of the results of his latest doping test, 안전놀이터 Baumgardner issued a statement denying all allegations of taking banned substances.
"The doping tests I took in mid-June and immediately after my fight with Linares came back clean. This means that a positive doping test could not have come only from the test I took just before the fight with Linares," he claimed.
"Mesterolone and methenolone are substances I have never heard of, never used, and never took a banned substance. It's not only unethical, it's completely contrary to my entire career."
Baumgardner, who has a career record of 14-1 (7 KOs), became the eighth female fighter in history to win the super featherweight titles of all four boxing organizations - the WBA, WBC, IBF, 스포츠토토 and WBO - in February of this year.
