Overview

• Alycia Baumgardner tested positive for mesterolone and methenolone acetate metabolites before her July 2023 fight but was later cleared of intentional doping.
• Despite initial positive tests, subsequent tests around the same period came back negative, adding complexity to the case.
• The WBC's investigation concluded there was no conclusive evidence of intentional ingestion, resulting in a probation rather than a suspension.
• Baumgardner also presented independent test results showing no traces of banned substances, bolstering her claims of innocence.
• In addition to the doping controversy, Baumgardner has been coping with the recent death of her father, who was a significant influence in her boxing career.
