Team USA boxer Virginia Fuchs avoids doping punishment after violation caused by sex


U.S. Olympic team boxer Virginia Fuchs was cleared of a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency violation after the organization determined that banned substances found in her sample were transmitted during sex. The USADA said in a statement Thursday that Fuchs’ urine sample was flagged on Feb. 13 because she tested positive for two banned substances. But the 32-year-old boxer was cleared after a further investigation. TOKYO OLYMPICS TALK OF SIMPLIFYING, BUT NO SPECIFICS SO FAR“We strongly believe this case and others like it, including meat contamination and prescription medication contamination cases should be considered no violation,” USADA chief Travis Tygart said. “This has been a huge lesson for me and now that is over, I’m fully focused on preparing for Tokyo,” she wrote.
