That might just about work with a retired fighter. And no doubt Khan can live with it, especially as my understanding is he has not been asked to pay back his purse, which is not the obligatory process it would be in sensible sports.

They were not the testing authority who twice found clomifene in Benn’s system — that was the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, which thereby introduced more loopholes for resourceful lawyers and a promoter in Hearn who famously sang VADA’s praises when it suited him, but is now dancing in the grey areas of conflicting jurisdictions.
They were sanctioned a week apart last month and teach writing online there was no great risk of a killer bite if the cases took a wrong turn — to go by the estimates from an agent in that area, the average second-tier player might earn £30,000 a year.

“By ignoring RT’s completely clean record of four consecutive years and stating purely political reasons tied directly to the situation in Ukraine and yet completely unassociated to RT’s operations, structure, management or editorial output, Ofcom has falsely judged RT to not be ‘fit and proper’ and in doing so robbed the UK public of access to information.”
In November 2022, a video surfaced online that showed a former Wagner contractor Hamadi Bouta, a Syrian army deserter, getting beaten to death with a sledgehammer after he allegedly fled to the Ukrainian side and was recaptured.
Moscow has not concealed a programme under which it has brought thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia from occupied areas, but presents this it as a humanitarian campaign to protect orphans and children abandoned in the conflict zone.
The media watchdog went on: “We take seriously the importance, in our democratic society, of a broadcaster’s right to freedom of expression and the audience’s right to receive information and ideas without undue interference.
