Protecting sport in the UK from doping
New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker has served a three-month ban after an out-of-competition cocaine ingestion. UKAD confirms evidence shows exposure by a nutritionist; Parker is free to fight again and will return to the ring soon.
The New Zealander has had his provisional suspension lifted after Ukad determined any cocaine ingestion occurred out-of-competition due to a nutritionist's cocaine use. Parker has stated he will return to the ring while details are finalised. The case follows a controversial fight with Fabio Wardley in London where traces of cocaine were found in a VADA test.
