Former unified light-welterweight champion Amir Khan, who is retired, has been slammed with a two-year ban from competing. In his last fight against Kell Brook, he tested positive for a banned substance known as ostarine. Ostarine is reportedly a drug that can have very similar effects as testosterone intake. A year after the fight, UKAD imposed a two-year ban, despite Khan’s retirement. It is worth mentioning that ‘King’ lost his last fight against Brook via knockout in the sixth round. Khan has been in hearings regarding his ban, where he managed to prove that his ingestion wasn’t intentional.

But UKAD has still not made any rectification in their order. Boxing journalist from talkSPORT, Michael Benson reported the incident on Twitter.

The tweet was seen by another World Champion boxer, Sunny Edwards, who gave his views on the matter. Also, another professional boxer, Ben Day, came in agreement with Edwards’ reaction to this whole incident.

Sunny Edwards responds to Amir Khan’s failed doping test

Sunny Edwards, who is well-known for his Twitter banters, saw Benson’s tweet and gave his stance on the whole situation. Before this, he even expressed his views on the “bin bag” outfit of Sam Smith. But here, regarding the Amir Khan situation, Edwards talked about how ingestion of ostarine didn’t really help him much in the fight, as he lost the fight via TKO anyways. Edwards said, “Well it didn’t really help much 😂“.

Additionally, Ben Day, another professional boxer, stated that he was thinking about the same thing when he read the news. He wrote, “I was thinking the exact same but then I thought it’s not the f#cking point, what’s happening with this sport….”
