Doping: World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury to face UK Ant-doping panel, after his suspension lifted

-
According to media report, the World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been charged over the alleged presence of a banned substance and will face an anti-doping tribunal.

UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) said on Wednesday that a suspension imposed on June 24 had been lifted, pending 'full determination' of the case.

The independent National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) will handle the hearing, with a date not yet announced.

UKAD also said it suspended Hughie Fury, Tyson Fury's cousin, on the same grounds and that he too, having had the suspension provisionally lifted, would have his case heard by the NADP.


In a statement released on Tuesday, prior to their suspensions being revealed, the lawyer who represents both men said they 'strenuously' denied committing doping offences, as it was announced they intended to sue UKAD.
UKAD said on Wednesday:

 'In response to public comments made by Tyson and Hughie Fury's representatives, UK Anti-Doping can confirm that both boxers were charged on 24 June 2016 with presence of a prohibited substance. 
                                                             
Mandatory provisional suspensions were imposed pursuant to article 7.9.1 of the UK Anti-Doping rules.

'The UK Anti-Doping Rules allow athletes to challenge the imposition of a provisional suspension and the independent National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) today lifted the athletes' suspensions, pending full determination of the charges.

These charges will be heard at a hearing before the NADP in due course.
'UK Anti-Doping will not comment further on the case until due legal process has been completed.'

Peter Fury, the father of Hughie Fury and uncle of Tyson Fury, is also the trainer of both fighters and welcomed the news they are now free to fight.
Peter Fury wrote on Twitter: 'To all our fans. Ukad suspension Lifted & @Tyson-Fury @hughiefury can & will be fighting with full go ahead from tribunal. Truth!! Amen.'

Promoter Frank Warren added: 'Congratulations to @Tyson-Fury & @hughiefury , they will now have their day in court after the ridiculous situation UKAD put them in!'

On the day both fighters were charged by UKAD, Tyson Fury postponed his world title re-match against Wladimir Klitschko because of an ankle injury. The fight had been scheduled for July 9 in Manchester.
Tyson Fury said in early July that the fight would instead go ahead on October 29.

It was reported by the Sunday Mirror on June 26 that traces of banned substance nandrolone were found in a urine sample provided by Tyson Fury that dated back to February 2015. The report also said that Hughie Fury had tested positive.
Both deny wrongdoing and intend to sue UKAD over the allegations.
Lawyer Lewis Power said on Tuesday: 'The two boxers strenuously deny taking any performance-enhancing drugs.


'However, during the last five weeks, leaks about these charges have appeared in the press and both boxers have been the targets of continual abusive language on Twitter.'
