The former world champion in professional boxing in two weight categories of Ricky Hatton is likely not to be held accountable in connection with a recent scandal with cocaine use.
Recall that in September the British press published a video and an eyewitness story , indicating a drug boxer. Hatton publicly recognized his psychological problems, and turned to the services of a specialized rehabilitation clinic.
After leaving the clinic, the police interrogated the boxer, but he did not confirm the fact of using the drug, saying that "he was not in the state to remember something" from the events of that evening, Allboxing.ru reports.
Representatives of the prosecutor's office confirmed that the police did not give them materials to Hatton.
"After the police said that Hatton did not recognize the accusations, we told them that additional evidence was needed." The police reported that the case has not yet been closed, but there are "very few chances" that it will reach the prosecutor's office.
Recall that Ricky Hatton won 45 out of 47 battles and decided to end his career after the Philippine Manny Pakyao sent him to the knockout in the second round in May 2009 in Las Vegas .
