FURY CAUGHT UP IN NEW DRUGS SHOCK

- By Riath Al-Samarrai and Guy Walters

TYSON FURY’S future in boxing is in serious jeopardy today after explosive allegation­s that a member of his team offered a farmer £25,000 to lie about how he failed a drugs test in 2015.

The astonishin­g claims centre on positive tests returned by Fury and his cousin Hughie in February 2015 for the banned steroid nandrolone, which they blamed in part on eating uncastrate­d wild boar or contaminat­ed supplement­s. Now they face remarkable claims from a Lancashire farmer, Martin Carefoot, who alleges that he was asked to ‘lie’ and promised £25,000 for saying he supplied wild boar to the Furys, despite having never done so.
