Overview

  • The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association reported that Munguia’s A-sample from May 4 in Riyadh contained exogenous testosterone metabolites.
  • He has ten days to request B-sample analysis, and a second positive result could lead to suspension and his rematch win overturned to a no-contest.
  • Munguia denies using performance-enhancing drugs and has offered to undergo additional testing to prove his clean record.
  • Bruno Surace, who lost the May rematch, has called for the decision to be immediately overturned.
  • The failed test reignites scrutiny of Eddy Reynoso’s camp following previous PED controversies involving top fighters.
