Boxing: Charr publishes negative blood test

Boxing World Champion Manuel Charr published a negative blood test of the same day after his positive urine-based doping test.

“Both the blood sample and the urine sample were taken by VADA on the same day,” the 33-year-old heavyweight fighter wrote on Monday on his Facebook page.

However, the published document only confirms a negative test for the growth hormone HGH. According to consistent media reports from the Voluntary Anti Doping Association (VADA), anabolic substances epitrenbolone and drostanolone in urine were not tested for the A-sample of the blood. HGH, for its part, is not detected through urine. Therefore, contrary to Charr’s assumption, the two findings are not contradictory.

Charr wrote, however, that he now wanted “to know exactly how the urine sample could be contaminated, while the blood test clearly showed a negative result” and announced “further measures”. The examination of the B sample of the blood for anabolic steroids detected in the urine should provide clarity.

After the positive training control became known on September 20, the Cologne colossus had shown himself “totally shocked” and claimed “never to have taken anything”. Charr’s WBA title defence against Fres Oquendo from Puerto Rico, scheduled for next Saturday, was then cancelled. The fight should take place in Cologne.
