    Khan, who rose to prominence in 2004 when he claimed gold for Great Britain at the Games in Athens, is instead looking into the possibility of representing Pakistan, the country of his father's birth.

    The 29-year-old's younger brother, Haroon, was not allowed to represent Pakistan at London 2012 having already featured for England as a youth boxer but Khan is still keen to pursue the option.
    Found it in an article from the Independent

    Well that backfired on Haroon. He represented Pakistan at the 2010 Commonwealth games.

    That reiterates the question of - should you be allowed to represent two countries? This doesn't count for Amir Khan but if Haroon wasn't good enough to qualify for the British team he gets to qualify for the far weaker Pakistan team.

    like Khan's career - fail down one path so go via another route
