Turley has been banned after testing positive for the prohibited substance furosemide, a drug used to treat fluid build-up due to heart failure, liver scarring, or kidney disease, which is considered a masking agent by UKAD.

He failed after an in-competition test on April 7, 2017 during the Commonwealth Boxing Council Super Bantamweight Championships in Wales.

The 31-year-old had provided evidence that he inadvertently took furosemide having intended to take ibuprofen whilst visiting his grandfather.

Turley told UKAD that he had intended to leave his grandfather's home to buy ibuprofen from a chemist but was instead urged to stay and was offered medication from his grandfather's medicine box.

With this being the case, UKAD concluded that he was at "no significant fault or negligence".

However, the ban was still handed down to Turley with UKAD chief executive Nicole Sapstead saying: "It is every athlete's individual responsibility to monitor and control what substances enter their body."

Turley's year-long ban will be backdated to the date of the fight and will expire at midnight on April 6, 2018.
