UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has successfully prosecuted two individuals for multiple anti-doping rule violations, resulting in UKAD’s first lifetime ban from sport.

Philip Tinklin is banned for life after being charged by UKAD with three anti-doping rule violations following a Gwent police investigation which led to a conviction for conspiring to supply anabolic steroids.

Following an investigation by UKAD, his daughter Sophie, an amateur boxer, has also been banned for four years.
