The United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) Agency has slapped former world champion Zolani ‘Last Born’ Tete with a four-year ban backdated to July last year.
This ban followed after Tete tested positive for a banned substance stanazolol, a muscle-cutting agent, after he stopped Briton Jason Cunningham in the fourth round at the OVO Arena in Wembley, London, in July last year.
Mdantsane-born Tete won the Commonwealth, IBF International and World Boxing Organisation (WBO) International junior-featherweight titles following the win over Cunningham.
The 35-year-old Tete’s B sample also confirmed that the former IBF junior-bantamweight and WBO bantamweight champion had used the banned substance.
