Browne reportedly failed drug test after world title triumph

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) -- Australian boxer Lucas Browne is reportedly set to be stripped of the WBA ‘regular’ world title he won in Russia earlier this month after failing a post-fight drug test.

Browne claimed the title with a 10th round stoppage of Uzbekistan’s Ruslan Chagaev on 6 March 2016.

According to the reports, he had tested positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol. It has the ability to build muscle, strip fat and boost aerobic capacity.
