Amir Khan has called for stricter drug testing in boxing and has welcomed the WBCs new Clean Boxing Programme.Khan (31-4, 19 KOs) is confident he will regain his WBC ranking as world welterweight champion Danny Garcias mandatory challenger after blaming a wrong email address for his delayed signing up to the WBCs Clean Boxing Programme.Khan, along with 24 other boxers, were dropped from the WBCs latest rankings.But the former world light-welterweight champion, who is recovering from hand surgery and expects to box again next summer, is now signed up to the random drug testing programme and hopes it will make boxing cleaner.My rating is still No. 1 with the WBC, Ive been told, Khan told ESPN.With the hand operation I was quite busy and Ive had so much testing going on. In boxing they need to understand Ive been tested by the British Boxing Board of Control [BBBofC], the WBC and VADA [Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency] when I sign up to a fight. Theres only so much I can get tested, three times in one day sometimes.But I spoke to [WBC president] Mauricio Sulaiman about it and he said it was all sorted.Khan, who was knocked out by Mexican Canelo Alvarez in six rounds last May after jumping up two weight divisions, admits boxing has a problem with drugs.In 2012, the 29-year-olds rematch with Lamont Peterson was scrapped after the American tested positive for synthetic testosterone.Khaans fellow Briton Tyson Fury is currently suspended by the BBBofC after testing positive for cocaine.dddddddddddd.

Fury denies the allegations.I know Im 100 percent clean, Ive never thought about taking anything and the people Ive worked with have been very professional and have never suggested it, Khan said.Im glad because Ive never wanted it to cross my mind. Ive never seen anyone doing anything. But I know some fighters may have done it towards the end of their careers, they get caught and then their whole legacy is destroyed. When its time up for me I know it will be time to leave the sport.I hear theres a lot of drug masking agencies out there now but maybe in the future if they keep the bloods that are tested in labs in the future they will be able to find out who has been using drugs.I want boxing to be a level playing field and theres definitely a lot of drugs going on and we need to stop it now.What boxing needs is just one company to test for everything and they can take, blood, urine even hair if it means they can definitely stop cheats.
