Joseph Parker Blames Nutritionist for Positive Drug Test

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Former world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker is attributing a positive drug test to his nutritionist’s cocaine use. The test stemmed from an analysis following his October bout with Fabio Wardley.

Parker reportedly argued before British anti-doping authorities that the contamination originated from his nutritionist, explaining how the substance entered his system. ESPN reports that Parker claimed the nutritionist's cocaine use led to the positive finding after the fight on October 14th against Fabio Wardley.

The specific details of the test results and any potential sanctions were not included in the report. However, Parker’s defense centers around demonstrating he did not intentionally ingest the prohibited substance. He is attempting to prove that the cocaine found in his system was a result of external contamination through his nutritionist's actions.
