Jaime Munguia Cleared After Doping Review With Surace Rematch Victory Upheld

Authorities determined the VADA positives were false results from pregnenolone contamination, clearing him to resume fighting.

Overview

  • The WBC and BBBofC, with UKAD overseeing results management, confirmed there will be no investigation, charge or sanction.
  • VADA had flagged Munguia’s May 4 urine test for exogenous testosterone, and both his A- and B-samples were initially reported positive.
  • A multi-agency review, including an independent WADA‑approved laboratory, attributed the findings to accidental exposure to the legal supplement pregnenolone.
  • Munguia declared he did not cheat, thanked the reviewing bodies for clearing him, and defended trainer Eddy Reynoso’s lack of involvement.
  • Reporting suggests he is eyeing a late‑2025 return, with a November Riyadh slot mentioned as a possible option.
