Amir Khan was given a two-year suspension from all sports after testing positive for a prohibited substance; the suspension began on April 6, 2022, and it was determined that Khan had taken the substance by accident.
Khan accepts the violation, but maintains that it was not his intention to do so.
After testing positive for a prohibited substance following his fight with Kell Brook last year, Amir Khan was given a two-year suspension from all sports.
After losing to Brook in Manchester on February 19, 2022, UK Anti-Doping reported that Khan, 36, tested positive for the anabolic agent ostarine.
Khan, who announced his retirement in May last year, accepted a violation of anti-doping rules but said he had not intentionally ingested the substance, an argument accepted by an independent panel following a hearing in January.
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 was stopped in the sixth round of his grudge fight with bitter rival Brook 14 months ago in what proved to be his final professional bout.
He unified world titles at super-lightweight and faced pound-for-pound stars Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Terence Crawford during a 40-fight career, featuring 34 wins and six defeats.
The Bolton fighter had launched his pro career in 2005 after winning an Olympic silver medal at the 2004 Athens Games.
