Matchroom Boxing announced in August that Dillian Whyte had returned adverse analytical findings as part of a random anti-doping protocol by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA).
His DAZN PPV fight with Anthony Joshua at London’s O2 Arena was cancelled, as a result, just seven days out.
NoSmokeSport.com revealed a few weeks later that Whyte returned an adverse finding for an experimental drug ‘Molidustat’.
Molidustat is a drug which can increase the endogenous production of erythropoietin (EPO).
However, Sky Sports revealed that Whyte was cleared to return by the Texas Department of Licencing and Regulation. The British Heavyweight was found to have been the victim of contamination of a supplement following an investigation.
