Tuesday Lunch Sport Update, with Joe Mallon Motors, Sallins Rd. Naas

Boxer Amir Khan banned from all sport for two years; Chelsea v Liverpool this evening;

Boxer Amir Khan has been banned from all sport for two years following an anti-doping rule violation.

The suspension comes after the Englishman tested positive for ostarine, which is a prohibited substance, after his fight with Kell Brook last year.

Khan, who has since retired from boxing, accepted he broke anti-doping rules but said he did not do so intentionally.

An independent tribunal ruled out 'deliberate or reckless' conduct by the 36-year-old.
