LOL so much for Peter's tweet saying he's free to go. Bull**** artist extraordinaire.
British world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is to face a UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) charge over the presence of a banned substance.
Fury was provisionally suspended in June, though that has been lifted pending a hearing, Ukad has revealed.
The 27-year-old had said on Tuesday he would sue the organisation over allegations he used a performance-enhancing substance.
Fury's cousin and fellow boxer Hughie has also been charged.
The Sunday Mirror reported on 26 June that traces of banned substance nandrolone were found in a urine sample taken from Fury in February 2015.
He denied the claim and his legal team says the result of tests from March and May 2015 were contradictory.
Fury beat Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA and WBO heavyweight titles in November.
Ukad said its statement was in response to comments from Tyson Fury and his team.
A spokeswoman said: "UK Anti-Doping can confirm that both boxers were charged on 24 June, 2016 with presence of a prohibited substance."
On Tuesday, Furys' legal team said proceedings had been issued in the High Court.
"The two boxers strenuously deny taking any performance-enhancing drugs," said lawyer Lewis Power.
"However, during the last five weeks, leaks about these charges have appeared in the press and both boxers have been the targets of continual abusive language on Twitter."
