Posted: 05 Jul 2018, 18:01
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.
