Boxer cleared of doping after sex excuse keeps Olympic dream alive:
Boxer Virginia "Ginny" Fuchs has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) after she successfully argued banned substances found their way into her system through unprotected sex.
As reported by The Houston Chronicle, the 32-year-old proclaimed her innocence after testing positive for two banned substances in an out-of-competition test back in February.
[...] Fuchs later found out her boyfriend had ingested the substances, which were contained in products he purchased, before the pair engaged in unprotected sex.
USADA said the trace amounts of the banned substances found in Fuchs' system were consistent with sexual transmission, and after an investigation was confident the American did not intentionally cheat.
USADA's decision means Fuchs is still eligible to qualify for next year's Olympics in Tokyo, which were postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
[...] "I had no idea that I could become contaminated by way of intimate contact with another person. I want to thank USA Boxing for believing in me and supporting me throughout these past few difficult months."

The trace amounts might have been a lot more elevated, and her good faith harder to prove.

Jokes aside, they should document what type of sex contact made her become contaminated, because this matters for other athletes.

Any kind of sex could have her get contaminated. The epithelium lining in all orifices could pick up trace amounts of Letrozol off her partners due to its extremely high bioavailability. I am unfamiliar with GW1516 pharmacology, but the specific mention of its metabolite profile offers some clues, depending on the equipment her partner has. Regardless, Athletes at that level are already warned about sexual activity causing positives, but this might be the first documented case of GW1516 doing so in specific.

What it means is: She was probably taking performance enhancing drugs, but had a plausible (ish) excuse, so she got a pass.

Not necessarily. For all we know she took it someplace else, rubbed it in or just let it sit there for a while to get absorbed. So for it to have some kind of enhancing effect I guess she would have had to leave the place covered in it like some kind of sticky ghost.

I guess it says something about the company she keeps since he is apparently into roids, or whatever it is he was taking. I wonder if this is the new excuse then? Oh positive result? Must have been cause of all the unprotected sex with strangers I had or all the sailors I just blew down at the docks. Which at least made me wonder how much of it she has to absorb for it to have a kinda of positive performance enhancing effect? Are we talking roman orgy levels of spunk or what?
