“Even If She Was Juicing Those Punches Aren’t The Hardest”: Amid Doping Allegations, Alycia Baumgardner Doing Pad Work In Recent Training Clip Does Not Sit Well With Fans

The anticipation built from the first glimpse of the champion boxer to the moment she took center stage. Baumgardner, known for her powerful punches in the ring, delivered a different kind of knockout outside it. Despite the doping allegations that Alycia so vehemently denies, she addressed the crowd with humility and gratitude, she shared her journey and the importance of giving back to the community that has supported her throughout her career.

The Bomb Denies Doping Allegations

Super Featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner recently concluded her second defense of her undisputed titles last month. However, she is currently facing controversy, as per boxing insider Dan Rafael. Reportedly, Baumgardner’s urine test on July 12, conducted three days before her unanimous decision victory over Christina Linardatou, revealed the presence of the banned steroid Mesterolone.

In response to these allegations, Baumgardner had issued an extensive statement vehemently denying any wrongdoing. She adamantly asserted that she has never taken, nor would she ever take, Mesterolone or any other prohibited substance. Emphasizing her commitment to fair play, she pointed out that both her post-fight tests returned negative results, rendering the July 12 test outcome “essentially impossible.” Moreover, she expressed her firm intention to actively oppose the idea that she knowingly used a banned substance, stating that she has “no intention of sitting back in silence and letting this ‘play out.'”

In a world often focused on victories within the confines of sports arenas, Alycia Baumgardner’s benevolence shines as a beacon of inspiration. Her actions extend beyond the boxing ring, demonstrating that true champions are not only defined by their athletic prowess but also by the positive impact they make in the lives of others. This Thanksgiving, Fremont experienced the generosity of a world champion, leaving an indelible mark of gratitude and community spirit.
