The British Board of Boxing Control (BBBofC) confirmed that Tyson Furys boxing licence has been suspended pending further investigation into anti-doping and medical issues.Fury vacated his WBO and WBA world heavyweight titles on Wednesday after testing positive for cocaine and admitting he is suffering from mental health issues. The British boxer also faces a UK Anti-Doping hearing next month after traces of nandrolone were allegedly found in a urine sample last year.BBBofC general secretary Robert Smith said Furys claim that he is suffering from depression will be considered when assessing any doping offences.We have to wait to see what the investigation turns up and at the moment he doesnt have a licence so cant box, Smith told ESPN on Thursday. Hes being dealt with by UKAD so we will have to see what happens there and with regard to medical documentation, we have had medical documents from him.We are in no hurry. His statements [on mental health] have already been considered because his licence has already been suspended. At some point we may have to have a hearing with Tyson. There are a few other things going on with regard to this matter as well.Hennessy Sports, Furys promoter, said in a statement that the boxer is receiving expert medical attention.Fury twice pulled out of a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, who he upset on points to win the IBF, WBO and WBA belts in November.Ukrainian Klitschko, who had reigned for over nine years, is now on the brink of signing a deal to fight Furys fellow Briton Anthony Joshua, the IBF champion, in Manchester or Cardiff on Dec. 10.Whilst its heartbreaking to see Tyson vacate the world titles that he worked so long and hard for all his life, whats paramount now is that he receives the medical treatment along with the love of his family and friends and the support of the boxing world to make a full recovery, said Furys promoter Mick Hennessy in a statement.

Several prominent retired and current Olympic athletes have thrown their support behind an international crowdfunding campaign to benefit Russian doping whistleblowers Vitaly and Yuliya Stepanov, who had to flee their home country and settle in an undisclosed location in the United States last year.The public effort, designed to help the Russian couple with educational and living expenses, comes at a time when athletes around the world are urging anti-doping and Olympic officials to ensure whistleblowers personal safety and ability to provide authorities with information.Lauryn Williams of the United States, one of only five athletes in history to have won medals in both the Summer (track and field) and Winter (bobsled) Games, is among those who recorded statements of support on a Swiss-based website.I think that globally, we should make an effort to support them so that other whistleblowers know were serious about stamping out doping, said the 32-year-old Williams, who sits on the World Anti-Doping Agency Athlete Committee.Others publicly endorsing the campaign include Olympic discus gold medalist Robert Harting of Germany, who will defend his title in Rio de Janeiro next month; Olympic cross-country skiing champion Beckie Scott of Canada, who also chairs the WADA Athlete Committee; and three-time Olympic skeleton racer Ben Sandford of New Zealand.Joseph de Pencier, CEO of the Institute of National Anti-Doping Organizations -- a trade and advocacy association for 59 such agencies -- praised the effort.ddddddddddddEqually important are continuing efforts to make use of the Stepanovs experience and insight to improve anti-doping, he told ESPN.

His wife, an 800-meter runner who doped as part of the national system, joined him after being sanctioned in 2013. Her covert recordings later became part of a German television documentary that forced WADA to investigate their allegations.WADAs findings, combined with further, detailed revelations by ex-Moscow lab director Grigory Rodchenkov, have led the International Olympic Committee to consider excluding Russian athletes from the Rio Games next month. Yuliya Stepanova has been granted a special exemption by world track and field officials to compete in Rio, but it is still unclear whether she would be able to do so under a neutral flag if other Russian athletes are excluded. She entered the 800-meter event at the European Championships earlier this month but was injured in her first race. ' ' '
