Tony Yoka Banned For 1-Year Over Tests, But Can Box Overseas

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

Olympic gold medal winner Tony Yoka has been banned from boxing in France for a period of one year.

The sentence was handed down on Thursday by France's anti-doping agency.

According to several outlets in France, French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) has punished Yoka for missing three anti-doping tests in less than a year.

Initially, BS.com reported a few months ago that French Boxing Federation had issued a one year "suspended" sentence on Yoka for the missed tests.

But the AFLD has revised that ruling . The ban does not exist in the World Anti-Doping Code except in a rare case of assistance to the investigation.

If he failed to meet the antidoping rules then he should not box anywhere. It's as simple as that :evil:
