The doping controversy that engulfed Alycia Baumgardner following the July 15 fight against Christina Linardatou has sparked intense debates. Baumgardner’s initial test, showing positive results for banned substances, cast a shadow on her unanimous decision win. Determined to prove her innocence, Baumgardner turned to an independent hair analysis.

Recently, Ryan O’Hara, a well-respected sportswriter, confirmed this move. He tweeted, “I can confirm that @alyciambaum had hair analysis conducted. Per document I have received, test was done on 10/24 and completed on 10/26.”

This attempt at exoneration, however, was met with skepticism. Lou DiBella, Linardatou’s promoter and a heavyweight in the world of boxing promotion, responded with biting criticism. His tweet was unequivocal: “Congratulations Ryan!! WHO THE F**K CARES. Alycia can’t exonerate herself. She’s not the judge. CASE OPEN.” DiBella underscored a crucial point. Baumgardner’s personal efforts to clear her name do not equate to an official exoneration. He further expressed frustration over the lack of confirmation regarding the testing of Baumgardner’s “B” sample. A critical step in the doping investigation process.

DiBella’s reaction not only questions the validity of the independent test but also highlights the broader issue of steroid regulation in boxing. His words paint a picture of a sport grappling with the complexities of doping regulations and the challenges in ensuring fair play. To clear this all up, Alycia is set to make a big reveal.

In a recent post, Baumgardner made a bold declaration. She emphatically stated that the substances found in her test were completely foreign to her. Her resolve is clear: she will not remain passive in the face of these allegations. On her X account, Baumgardner teased a major reveal, claiming to possess undeniable evidence of her innocence. “I’m going to set the record straight,” the champion asserted, hinting at a revelation that’s long overdue.

She places her trust in her team, experts, and, critically, science to unearth the truth. Baumgardner keeps the details close to her chest for now, promising, “You’re just gonna have to wait and see.” This forthcoming announcement, she believes, will unequivocally demonstrate her lifelong commitment to clean competition and the natural strength she’s renowned for.
