Sky Sports reported on Sunday that Briton Dillian Whyte was given the green light to resume his boxing career after it emerged that a tainted nutritional supplement led to a positive doping test result last year before his fight with compatriot Anthony Joshua.
White was shocked after he failed a random doping test, which led to the cancellation of his heavyweight fight against former world champion Joshua, which was scheduled for August last year.
However, an investigation revealed that he was the victim of food supplement contamination according to Sky Sports.
The network said it had seen documents that showed that a forensic expert concluded that White was “a victim of a contaminated nutritional supplement.”
White (35 years old) is training in the United States under a license from the authorities in Texas.
White, who lost a title challenge to World Boxing Council world champion Tyson Fury in April 2022, said he felt very angry and spent a long time trying to understand the mistakes he made in his diet.
He explained to Sky Sports: “It was very difficult because I knew I was innocent but then you can’t talk, you can’t say anything. You have to be professional and trust the legal process and the people around you. It was difficult, but difficult times make men.” “Strong.”
He added: “I feel relieved now more than anything else, but of course I am also angry because it cost me a lot. The most important thing is that it cost me the opportunity to beat (Joshua). Everything else after that is secondary, but to learn it is a mixture of feelings.”
Joshua eventually defeated Finnish substitute Robert Helenius by knockout in the seventh round.
White also said he is seeking damages from the supplement’s manufacturer.
He added: “I lost a lot of money and we are seeking compensation for all the money I lost, and I am trying to get some kind of compensation for my career.”
