![]() ![]() From Olympic silver to world-title glory Khan (left) burst on to the scene after winning silver at the 2004 Athens Olympics "I want to say a heartfelt thanks to the incredible teams I have worked with and to my family, friends and fans for the love and support they have shown me," he added. Khan finishes his career with 34 professional wins and six losses, having turned professional in 2005. "I feel blessed to have had such an amazing career that has spanned over 27 years." "It's time to hang up my gloves," Khan posted on social media. Not doing so risks damaging not only an Athlete’s career, but also undermining public confidence in clean sport.His final bout was a sixth-round knockout loss against rival Kell Brook - who also retired last week. It is important that all Athletes and their support personnel, whatever level they are competing at, take their anti-doping responsibilities seriously. "Strict liability means Athletes are ultimately responsible for what they ingest and for the presence of any Prohibited Substances in a Sample. Speaking on the case, UKAD Chief Executive Jane Rumble said: “This case serves as a reminder that UKAD will diligently pursue Anti-Doping Rule Violations in order to protect clean sport." Mr Khan’s two-year ban is deemed to have commenced on 6 April 2022 (the date his Provisional Suspension was imposed) and will expire on 5 April 2024. The panel also disqualified Mr Khan’s result from the bout against Mr Brook. Mr Khan’s case was heard by the independent tribunal on 24 January 2023 and in its written decision dated 21 February 2023, the panel found both violations proved, concluded that Mr Khan had established that they were not 'intentional' within the meaning of ADR Article 10.2.3 and imposed a two-year ban on him. As a consequence his case was referred to the National Anti-Doping Panel to be considered by an independent tribunal. Mr Khan accepted the violations charged but maintained that his ingestion of ostarine was not 'intentional' ( a term with a specific meaning set out at ADR Article 10.2.3). On 20 July 2022, UKAD charged Mr Khan with the commission of two ADRVs: under ADR Article 2.1 (Presence of a Prohibited Substance) and ADR Article 2.2 (Use of a Prohibited Substance). UKAD issued him with a Provisional Suspension from all Code-compliant sport on the same date. UKAD notified Mr Khan of the AAF on 6 April 2022 and that he may have committed ADRVs under the 2021 UK Anti-Doping Rules (ADR). The substance is listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) 2022 Prohibited List as an anabolic agent and is prohibited in sport at all times. Ostarine is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). Mr Khan’s Sample returned an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) for ostarine. On 19 February 2022, UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) collected an In-Competition urine Sample from Mr Khan after his fight against Kell Brook at the Manchester Arena. Professional boxer and Olympic medallist Amir Khan has been banned from all sport for two years following Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs) for the presence and use of a Prohibited Substance.
