Former heavyweight champion Joseph Parker has contested a recent positive doping test by attributing it to his nutritionist’s cocaine use. Parker told British anti‑doping authorities that the substance entered his system through the nutritionist’s illicit consumption.
The claim relates to his bout with Fabio Wardley in October, after which the test was administered. Parker maintains that he was unaware of any prohibited substances in his body at the time of the fight.
He argues that the nutritionist’s actions, not his own, caused the adverse analytical finding. The case highlights the complexities athletes face regarding supplement and support staff oversight.
Authorities will review the evidence to determine whether the explanation is sufficient to mitigate any sanctions.
