Boxer allowed to fight again

-

Former boxing champion Lucian Bute is free to fight again after agreeing to pay $50,000 into an anti-doping fund and accept a sixmonth suspension, which he has already served, after it was found that his positive post-fight doping test was caused by contaminat­ed supplement­s. Promoter Groupe Yvon Michel says the boxing commission in Washington, D.C., accepted the Montreal fighter’s argument that he did not knowingly use the banned substance Ostarine. Bute tested positive after fighting to a draw with Badou Jack in Washington on April 30.
