The nutritionist of former world heavyweight boxing champion Joseph Parker was the reason why traces of cocaine were found in an anti-doping test carried out in the United Kingdom on the day of his loss to Fabio Wardley.
At least that's what a report says after an investigation by the United Kingdom's Anti-Doping Organization.
The New Zealand boxer can return to boxing after serving a three-month suspension. He has always denied knowingly taking a banned substance.
Parker, 34, was able to gather enough evidence to prove that the test result was due to his exposure to cocaine used by the nutritionist.
The nutritionist Parker hired before the fight with Wardley was a regular cocaine user, the report says.
