WWOS staff
Australia's first heavyweight boxing champion Lucas Browne could be stripped of his world title after reportedly failing a drugs test.
Browne beat Russian Ruslan Chagaev for his WBA crown in Chechnya two weeks ago, but according to an ESPN report a pre-fight drugs test detected clenbuterol in his system.
The 'A sample' was collected by the Las Vegas-based agency Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) which reportedly sent details of the positive test toorganisersof the Browne-Chagaev fight.

No testing has been done of his 'B sample' because the agency is demanding the Aussie pay for it.
ESPN's boxing analyst Dan Rafael claims the 36-year-old will be stripped of his title.
