World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has sued the UK Anti-doping agency
after the agency alleged that he used a performance enhancing drug. According to the
Sun UK, Fury, who defeated Wladmir Klitschko to become the world heavyweight
champion - has lodged high court papers denying the the doping allegations,
demanding answers over why he has been charged and also wants damages.
The UKAD report dates back to urine samples taken in February 2015 but released in
June 2016 which showed traces of banned substance nandrolone — nine months
before Tyson Fury’s title win over Wladmir Klitschko. Fury's lawyers are asking why it
took over a year for urine sample results to be released given that a second test
showed no traces of the anabolic steroid and that a blood test at the time was also
negative.
According to the court documents, Tyson's took test for the last ten months before his
fight with Klitschko which also came back negative and he was told by the UKAD that
he won't be charged or prosecuted . Fury also claims they were told by UKAD that the
contamination of a dietary supplement was the most likely explanation of the positive
result.
Fury’s big rematch against Klitschko is scheduled for October 29.
