“Joseph Parker got into a scandalous situation”, — write: sport.ua
Joseph Parker tested positive for cocaine on the day of his fight against interim WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wordley. The 33-year-old New Zealand heavyweight was tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA), and the results of the test became known on Friday morning.
Parker’s team can now initiate analysis of the “B” sample to confirm or deny the initial detection of the banned substance.
