Amir Khan (34-6, 21 KOs) was convicted of using illegal drugs after a fight with Kell Brook and simultaneously suspended for two years. The boxer himself denies everything. It doesn't really matter, since Khan announced his retirement after losing to Brook by TKO in the sixth round thirteen months ago.

Both the commission that passed the verdict and the boxer himself claim that the banned substance could have been taken unconsciously.

“I have never cheated, I am already retired. I still lost, if I knocked out Brook, everything would be different, but I want to note that I have never used doping in my life, ”Khan said.

Interestingly, this case became known only today, more than a year after the battle. Including this became known only today to Ben Shalom, the promoter of that boxing evening.
