Welterweight contender Conor Benn is going to present evidence of contamination to UKAD [UK Anti-Doping] and the British Boxing Board of Control, according to a report by The Times.

Benn tested positive for the banned substance clomiphene ahead of last October's catchweight bout against Chris Eubank Jr. - which was scheduled to headline a DAZN Pay-Per-View card.

The event was canceled during fight week after UK media revealed that Benn had tested positive for the substance - and later it was revealed that the British boxer tested positive for the same substance in an earlier test. Both tests were conducted by drug testing agency VADA in connection with the World Boxing Council's 'Clean Boxing' program.

UKAD would formally charge Benn and provisionally suspended him from fighting. Both UKAD and the BBBoC are investigating the matter.

According to The Times, Benn has put together a team, which includes executive coach Rene Carayol MBE and Dr. Mohammed Enayat, an expert in functional and personalized medicine, to deliver their findings to both UKAD and the BBBoC. 

The Times has reported that an expert in anti-doping and a professor with specialist knowledge of clomiphene have reviewed Enayat's results.

Benn's team will present evidence that his urine sample contained clomiphene metabolites consistent with food contamination rather than the oral ingestion.

"Without a question of doubt we've proved it's contamination, 100 percent," Enayat told The Times.

Dr Serkan Kahyaoglu, an associate professor at the University of Health Sciences, suggested Benn's positive test "was a natural result of consumption of clomiphene-containing eggs."

"It would be unfair to blame Conor Benn due to his positive doping test result for clomiphene," said Kahyaoglu.

Earlier in the year, the World Boxing Council cleared Benn and placed him back in their welterweight rankings after their own internal investigation concluded that the unbeaten that a "highly-elevated consumption of eggs" was a "reasonable explanation" for his failed tests.

Benn has been inactive since securing a stoppage win over Chris van Heerden in April of 2022.
