After testing positive for a prohibited substance following his bout against Kell Brook in February 2022, British boxer Amir Khan has been suspended from all sports for two years.
Khan, who announced his retirement in May of last year, admitted to breaking anti-doping laws but maintained that he had not knowingly taken the chemical in question.
A UKAD statement said: “Mr Khan’s two-year ban is deemed to have commenced on April 6 2022 (the date his provisional suspension was imposed) and will expire on April 5 2024.”
Khan won the WBA super-lightweight title in July 2009 after a points decision over Andriy Kotelnik, and he added the IBF title two years later after a knockout of Zab Judah.
Khan made the bold move up to middleweight to face Canelo for the WBC championship, but was knocked out in the sixth round in May 2016 and was stopped by Crawford in the sixth round of their WBO title fight in April 2019.
