Amir Khan denies cheating after receiving two-year ban for failed drug test

PA Wire

Amir Khan has denied cheating after being banned from sport for two years, with the Briton having tested positive for a prohibited substance following his fight with Kell Brook in 2022.

Khan lost to his long-time rival via sixth-round TKO last February, and UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has now revealed that the former world champion tested positive for ostarine after the Manchester bout. Khan, 36, announced his retirement shortly after the loss to Brook, and his ban is backdated to April 2022, meaning it will expire in April 2024.
