Joseph Parker: Kiwi Heavyweight Boxer on the UK Anti-Doping Agency finding his nutritionist was the cause of his positive cocaine test
from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB
The UK Anti-Doping Agency have determined Joseph Parker's nutritionist was the reason traces of cocaine were found in a positive anti-doping test last year. He's free to fight again after serving a three-month suspension and has denied knowingly taken banned substances. A statement from UKAD says Parker's nutritionist was a regular user of the drug leading up to the sample being taken. Parker told Mike Hosking that he noticed the nutritionist was dealing with a few issues while on the training camp, and advised him to stop. But he said his food or drink was probably contaminated. He says he had no idea when he hired the nutritionist that he was going through things, but he’s happy he's getting the help he needs.
