Khan banned for two years for doping violation

British boxer Amir Khan has been banned for two years after an anti-doping test revealed the presence of a prohibited substance following his fight against Kell Brook in February 2022.

Khan, who retired from boxing in May, accepted he broke anti-doping rules but said it was not intentional.

An independent tribunal accepted that argument, ruling out "deliberate or reckless conduct" by the 36-year-old.

The ban from all sport is deemed to have begun on 6 April 2022 and expires on 5 April 2024.
