Reports: Why is Amir Khan Banned from Boxing for 2 years ?
Reports: Amir Khan got banned for two years
Amir Khan’s world came crashing down when news broke that his urine sample from the fight against Kell Brook in February 2022 tested positive for ostarine, a banned substance that promotes muscle building. The revelation stunned fans worldwide, who had followed the talented boxer’s rise to fame.
Khan, who is 36 years old, claimed that his use of ostarine was unintentional, but UK Anti-Doping wasn’t buying it. An independent tribunal found him guilty of two violations – presence and use of a prohibited substance – and confirmed the decision in writing in February. The athlete was then given a provisional ban on 6 April 2022.
