More proof that anti-doping is an invasive nightmare that doesn’t even achieve what it sets out to: the case of Ginny Fuchs. The flyweight boxer tested positive for two illegal substances in February, and was cleared Thursday after it was determined that the substances ended up in her body through sex with her boyfriend.
“While the World Anti-Doping Code requires that this no fault finding be considered a violation and be publicly announced, we strongly believe this case and others like it....should be considered no violation,” Tygart said. “We will continue to advocate for changes to the World Anti-Doping Code so that where there is no intent to cheat and no performance benefit, an athlete should not face any violation or unnecessary public attention.
