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

\n

The former light-welterweight world champion tested positive for ostarine.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Khan, who retired from boxing in May, accepted he broke anti-doping rules but said it was not intentional.<\/span><\/p>\n

An independent tribunal accepted that argument, ruling out “deliberate or reckless conduct” by the 36-year-old.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ban from all sport is deemed to have begun on 6 April 2022 and expires on 5 April 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UK Anti-Doping website<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a> states ostarine is a drug designed to have similar effects to testosterone.<\/span><\/p>\n

In October, British sprinter CJ Ujah <\/span>was banned for 22 months<\/span><\/a> after he tested positive for two banned substances, including ostarine, at the Tokyo Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n
