Former light-welterweight world champion Amir Khan has been banned for two years following a positive anti-doping test for ostarine after his fight against Kell Brook in February 2022.
Although Khan admitted breaking anti-doping rules, he claimed that it was not intentional.
An independent tribunal accepted this argument, ruling out any “deliberate or reckless conduct” by the 36-year-old.
In an interview with Sky Sports News, Khan vehemently denied any cheating allegations and said, “I’ve never cheated. But I’ve got a two-year ban now, which is quite strange and funny because I’m already retired anyway.
“I’ve never cheated in my life”

There’s no comeback planned at all. But I’ve never cheated and I never will. That’s just not something I would do.”
