Robert Helenius Receives Two-Year Ban for Doping Violation

The Finnish boxer failed to prove the source of clomifene found in his system before his bout with Anthony Joshua.

  • Helenius tested positive for clomifene in a voluntary drug test before his fight against Joshua in August 2023.
  • He claimed the substance may have come from eggs and chicken but could not provide evidence.
  • UK Anti-Doping stated Helenius failed to identify the source, resulting in a two-year ban.
  • Helenius' ban is retroactive, starting from his provisional suspension on September 18, 2023.
  • The ban will expire on September 17, 2025, allowing for time already served.
