2. The provisional suspension of world heavyweight boxing
champion Tyson Fury has been lifted by UK Anti-Doping.
Fury was charged over a urine sample taken in February
2015. This was after a period of nine months before he beat
unified champion Wladimir Klitschko to claim the
Ukraine great's titles.
In a statement, the legal team of Fury said they would be
suing UK Anti-Doping. The team remarked proceedings
have been issued in the High Court on behalf of the World
heavyweight champion and his cousin Hughie, who was
also charged. The urine sample of Tyson was alleged to
have contained traces of Nandrolone, a banned anabolic
steroid. Tyson and his brother will have to face a hearing
at the independent National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP).
3. Fury's legal team said the result of tests on the
samples in March and May 2015 were contradictory.
Lawyer Lewis Power said in a statement the two
boxers strenuously deny taking any performance
enhancing drugs. It was further remarked leaks about
these charges during the last five weeks have
appeared in the press and both boxers have been the
targets of continual abusive language on Twitter.
