The deal was that UKAD would withdraw the charge of refusing to submit test samples they brought against Tyson - which was punishable with a 4 year ban - in return for Team Fury dropping the law suit they brought against UKAD for false accusation and defamation and accepting a backdated ban for the initial nandralone charge brought 2 years previously.
Accepting the backdated ban meant that UKAD could not be sued for false accusation by either of the Fury cousins at any time in the future.
In a statement regarding this deal, UKAD admitted that they broke WADA guidelines by allowing too much time to pass between flagging a test result and bringing a charge on the basis of it. This made it impossible for the Fury's to defend the charge by referring to the source of the illegal substance.
Unlike some other prohibited substances - eg, clenbuterol - nandrolone can be produced naturally in the human body. Tyson and Hughie both had trace amounts of nandrolone in one urine sample, with blood tests coming back clean. That was consistant with what happens when nandrolone is produced naturally, rather than taken deliberately.
