A lot of people didn't know this.

Every Tyson or Hughie thread I look at there are people asking whether they've been banned or claiming that Hughie delayed signing for Parker because he was serving a suspension, etc.

Robert Smith, Secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control, spells out what he knows about the status of Tyson and Hughie Fury's upcoming UKAD PED accusation hearings, and whether either of them are serving suspensions right now.

Tyson is still suspended and has not notified the Board that he wants to fight again in May. He is suspended because he admitted using cocain and had mental health issues. Tyson's suspension is not connected, in any way, with the UKAD nandrolone accusation.

Hughie Fury is not suspended and has not served any suspension since his provisional suspension was lifted last Sept.

So the tribunal is only for Tyson?
Wasn't Tyson & Hughie both suspected of nandrolone usage in 2015..

Good to finally get some proper clarification on this anyway. There's always been conflicting reports and the original story was in a crappy tabloid.

So neither have actually been found guilty of doping then.

That's stretching it too much isnt it.. They still have the tribunal to clear the air.. They were still tested +ve

It says Hughie had a provisional suspension, which probably just means he was suspended while they looked into the case. It seems they have no reason to be banned so Hughie's suspension was lifted.

As for Tyson, he's only suspended due to mental health issues and ******* use. They can't issue boxing licenses to those who are not cleared to fight due to mental health problems. Because ******* isn't a PED and because he has mental health issues, i'm assuming the tribunal is more to do with whether he's in the right frame of mind to fight, not because of doping.

Being the case that it is.. The +ve test was being brushed under the carpet even after UKAD said the samples tested +ve in 2015..
how convenient..
