Former World Heavyweight Champion, Joseph Parker Tests Positive for Cocaine

Former world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker has tested positive for cocaine and risks a likely ban from boxing after testing positive for cocaine. Parker, 33, failed a drug test on the day of his fight with Fabio Wardley on 26 October, according to media reports. He was tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) on 25 October. Parker tested positive for the recreational drug and not performance-enhancing drugs, which could see him get a two-year ban. He also be suspended for as little as three months depending on circumstances. Any ban would be handed down by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC).
