The problems for the Tijuana boxer do not stop. After his victory over Bruno Surace, he was given a first anti-doping test to comply with post-fight program protocols. However, the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) reported that the “A” test carried out on Jaime Munguia was positive, to which the Mexican appealed for a second test to be carried out.
This Tuesday, June 17, VADA announced the results of the “B” test and again it came back positive, with the same result as the “A” test. The boxer’s communications team revealed that Munguia was present in Utah during the opening of the sample. “Today we can confirm that Jaime Munguia’s B sample has been opened and analysed, and that, like the A sample, it also tested positive. We are on site to show respect for the process and his total commitment to transparency and cooperation at every stage,” they reported.

What are the consequences for Jaime Munguia for testing positive?
With this scenario, Jaime Munguia’s victory over Bruno Surace would be at risk as the World Boxing Council (WBC) could return the Frenchman’s undefeated record. This is because Munguia’s B sample also tested positive for banned substances, and VADA has the power to notify world boxing organizations to overturn results. In this case, the Mexican’s most recent fight was in his rematch against Surace.
Jaime Munguia pleads innocent and claims there were contaminated substances
Jaime Munguia’s team is surprised by the second positive doping test, as they reiterated that the 28-year-old fighter did not ingest any type of prohibited substance that could compromise his sporting ethics. “We want to reiterate that this result does not change our position: Jaime did not consciously or intentionally ingest any prohibited substance. We firmly believe that this result was caused by contamination and we continue to take all possible measures to identify its origin,” they published on social networks.
In addition, they emphasized that they will collaborate with the authorities to clarify the situation, arguing that it may have been contamination unrelated to the diet and supplements consumed by the boxer. “We are still awaiting clarification from the specialists on the specific levels detected in the samples. “
“As a next step, our team is sending to a VADA-accredited laboratory the list of all supplements and products that Jaime used for analysis. This step is crucial to help determine how the substance may have entered his body and ensure the integrity of the review process,” they concluded.
