But I&#8217;ve never cheated and I never will. That&#8217;s just not something I would do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khan says he has &#8220;no idea&#8221; how the banned substance ended up in his system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I have to take some sort of responsibility. End of the day it&#8217;s been found in my system. I can honestly say this is something I would never ever do [cheating].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It was such a tiny amount, it was no benefit at all. I should have maybe taken more precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to remembered for something like this,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;ll hurt me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khan retired after hearing of potential drugs ban<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) website states ostarine is a drug designed to have similar effects to testosterone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khan tested positive for the drug in a Ukad test taken on 19 February 2022, the night he lost to Brook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukad says it informed Khan, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) on 6 April 2022 of a potential four-year ban. Brook and event promoters Boxxer were not told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khan accepted two doping violations but insisted he was innocent of &#8220;intentional doping&#8221;, which led to the case being referred to the National Anti-Doping Panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case was not heard by an independent tribunal until 24 January 2023, with a written decision handed down on 21 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, Khan announced his retirement from boxing on 13 May 2022, just three months after his loss to Brook and less than a month after he was told of his positive test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khan retired on 13 May, a month after he was told of the potential doping ban<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukad rejected Khan&#8217;s defence that the ostarine was transmitted by a tainted supplement or human contact, but did decide the dose was too small to be intentional or give any performance advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This case serves as a reminder that Ukad will diligently pursue anti-doping rule violations in order to protect clean sport,&#8221; Ukad chief executive Jane Rumble said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boxxer, which promoted the Khan-Brook event, said it was &#8220;disappointed&#8221; to learn about Khan&#8217;s ban via social media on Tuesday, adding it is &#8220;vehemently against any use of any illegal or performance-enhancing substances taken by athletes&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Promoter Ben Shalom says Boxxer was not informed of the positive drugs test and that the BBBoC was only told on Monday, which Ukad has denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Ukad has an obligation to inform parties of any adverse analytical findings in accordance with the UK anti-doping rules,&#8221; a Ukad spokesperson said. &#8220;In this case, this means Ukad was required to and did notify Mr Khan, the BBBoC and Wada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It is a matter for Mr Khan thereafter as to whether he wished to divulge details of his finding to any athlete support personnel he was working with.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ban from all sport runs from 6 April 2022 until 5 April 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Athletes are ultimately responsible for what they ingest&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last October, British sprinter CJ Ujah was banned for 22 months after he tested positive for two banned substances, including ostarine, at the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Khan, Ujah denied intentionally doping but received a lengthy ban due to strict liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Strict liability means athletes are ultimately responsible for what they ingest and for the presence of any prohibited substances in a sample,&#8221; Rumble explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fellow Briton Conor Benn failed two voluntary drug tests for female fertility drug clomifene before his cancelled bout with Chris Eubank Jr in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benn was allowed back into the World Boxing Council rankings after it ruled his failed drug test was not intentional and could have been caused by a &#8220;highly elevated consumption&#8221; of eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, he remains under investigation by Ukad and the BBBofC, and is unable to fight in the United Kingdom as he does not currently have a boxing licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benn has maintained his innocence but faces the same &#8220;strict liability&#8221; rule as Khan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Ukad announcement adds different dimension to Khan swansong&#8217; &#8211; analysis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coral Barry, BBC Sport<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amir Khan is one of Great Britain&#8217;s greatest boxers. His silver medal as a 17-year-old at the Athens Olympics in 2004 made him into a household name. He was a world champion, fought the best, from Saul &#8216;Canelo&#8217; Alvarez to Terence Crawford, and his retirement fight against Kell Brook was a typically thrilling end to a storied career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Brook fight was 17 years in the making and a huge event that captured the attention of boxing and the wider sports world, despite it being well past its sell-by date. Both men were 35 when the fight happened and have since retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukad&#8217;s announcement adds a different dimension to Khan&#8217;s swansong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Testing positive on fight night has become more and more unusual considering it is one of the few times a big boxing star can be guaranteed they will be tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khan has been cleared of intentionally ingesting ostarine after a lengthy investigation, but strict liability carries a mandatory two-year ban regardless of intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BBC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kell Brook (left) beat Amir Khan to settle a bitter rivalry between the
