I don’t think anyone believes Khan has knowingly taken something. Ridiculous how they’re doing this so late.

[omarben-hariz]

Guy seems genuine and honest. Makes no sense logically for him to have trialled this a week before the fight. His legacy is intact.

[InsideBoxingBrain]

Conor should take note this is how you deal with a situation

[tazernuts]

His tongue accidently touched brooks nose... 😂😂

[abcombat]

Fair play already addressing it to the public. Sports needs this to keep moving forward. Transparency goes along way in the eyes of the fans.

[OriginalNutta]

He’s a treasure to British boxing the way he stood outside talking to the press 😂 he dug himself a bigger hole but we all know he’s not lying he’s just got a funny way of saying it

[Creed]

at least he faced the press unlike Benn

[bgz]

I am no body language expert but I believe he is innocent. Strict liability are the rules and he has taken it like a man and let it be a lesson to other professionals. It's a cruel sport at times. Fair play to him

[samjg]

The fact he said it was a grain of salt in a swimming pool amount shows you how little and insignificant it is. Poor guy, he didn’t even box well or look in great shape 😭

[iandavies]

There are some people in boxing I trust and Amir has always seemed straight and to be such a small amount seems ridiculous for a ban.

[knoxieman]

Hes a Legend, anyone who thinks he's been on peds obviously hasnt watched him fight, honourable man as well not running and hiding like Conor Benn, massive respect to Amir a truly lovely fella.

[mrxcx]

Well done Amir for coming out and addressing the incident as soon as the story broke. Top bloke, fantastic fighter.

[imonahorse]

Doesn’t tarnish his legacy one little bit. He goes down as one of the best we’ve ever produced and deserves far more love than he gets.

[jutice]

I honestly believe him. It does not make sense for a man who in his entire career has played by the books and been a good ambassador for British English Boxing. However it would be beneficial for him to try looking into what may have caused this adverse finding even though being so minute traces as this can help younger boxers to be more cautious about any vitamins or supplements. Also big up to Amir for sharing the results to the public. Goes to show he has nothing to hide.

[Doncorleone]

He’s still loved by the fans because he’s apologised and been honest about the findings, unlike the conman benn

[TheNotoriousG.A.V]

Bit confused to be honest. UKAD have stated they do not believe Amir Kahn has knowingly taken any PED and the amount they found in his system was NOT performance enhancing anyway. So why the 2 year ban on the already retired fighter??

[hsingh]

I believe him, always going to be a legend of the sport!!!!

[dubsdolby]

Well done, amir, for standing up and not hiding away. He sounds 💯 genuine

[rossitt]

Gotta give him respect so many others wouldn't evn show their face.. I believe him

[karentaylor]

If the UKAD Report is valid, then it makes no sense why he would intentionally take such a small dose, plus his performance was less than average against brook... unlike Connor Benn, I believe Amir... !!!
