Alycia Baumgardner returns ‘adverse analytical finding’ and now faces ‘full investigation’ after world title win | Boxing News

Alycia Baumgardner has returned an ‘adverse analytical finding’ and now faces a ‘full investigation’ after her undisputed world title win over Christina Linardatou.

Baumgarder defeated Linardatou by unanimous decision to retain her WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF super-featherweight belts in Detroit on July 15.

But the American’s promotional company, Matchroom Boxing, have since confirmed that she has registered an adverse finding in a random test.

A statement read: “Matchroom can today confirm that Alycia Baumgardner returned an adverse analytical finding as part of a random anti-doping protocol instituted voluntarily for her bout with Christina Linardatou in Detroit on July 15.

“Matchroom was first informed of this result on August 12.

“The applicable regulatory authorities are also aware and we defer to such bodies for further action and guidance as a full investigation is conducted.

“Matchroom is committed to promoting a clean and fair sport for all athletes, and will assist Alycia and her team during this time, affording her the appropriate due process.”
