WBA champ Browne again says he’s innocent of doping (The Associated Press)
WBA heavyweight boxing champion Lucas Browne again insisted that he’s innocent of doping, saying on Wednesday that a urine and blood test he took six days before his fight against Ruslan Chagaev was negative. The Australian boxer tested positive for the banned steroid clenbuterol, which boosts one’s metabolism and burns fat, after beating Chagaev in the 10th round of their fight in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya in Russia, on March 5. On Wednesday, Browne said he was randomly tested on his arrival to Russia on Feb. 29 by the Las Vegas-based Volunteer Anti-Doping Association and the test came back negative, proving he was ”a clean athlete” when he entered the country.
