We present a new independent evaluation of the hadronic and QCD contributions to the QED running coupling \alpha(M_Z) and to the muonium hyperfine splitting \nu. We obtain: \Delta\alpha_{had}=2770(17)10^{-5} and \Delta\nu_{had}=232.5(2.5) Hz. Combined with the QED and Electroweak Standard Model contributions, they lead to: \alpha^{-1}(M_Z)=128.926(25) and to the Fermi energy splitting \nu_F=4~459~031~783(229) Hz, where for the latter, we have used, in addition, the precise measurement of the muonium hyperfine splitting \nu_{exp}. We use \nu_F in order to predict the ratios of masses m_{\mu}/m_e=206.768~276(11) and of the magnetic moments \mu_{\mu}/\mu^e_B=4.841~970~47(25)10^{-3}, which are in excellent agreement with the ones quoted by the Particle Data Group. These remarkable agreements can provide strong constraints on some contributions beyond the Standard Model.
