US Olympic team boxer Virginia Fuchs will face no punishment for failing a doping test after the U.S. Anti-Doping Association determined the violation had been caused by two substances transmitted by her boyfriend through sex. Fuchs has served as a recent captain of the US Olympic team, which returned to Colorado Springs this week for its first training camp since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Fuchs learned in March that she had tested positive for two banned substances during an out-of-competition test in February. USADA CEO Travis Tygart said his organization confirmed Fuchs’ violation only because it was required to do so. ”This has been a huge lesson for me and now that (it’s) over, I’m fully focused on preparing for Tokyo,” Fuchs wrote.
