Amir Khan receives two-year ban for failed drug test.
Former world champion boxer Amir Khan has been banned from all sports for two years after testing positive for the anabolic agent ostarine. The 36-year-old retired boxer returned a positive result after his loss to Kell Brook in Manchester in February 2022. The National Anti-Doping Panel accepted Khan’s submission he had not taken the substance intentionally but imposed the ban on the basis of strict liability. The ban is deemed to have commenced on April 6, 2022, when his provisional suspension was imposed, and will expire on 5 April 2024.
