So he failed VADA’s tests and yet passed UKAD’s tests. Is there a difference in how the two drug testing agencies test?

That's another odd thing? If he was popped back in August how come they didn't test the B sample right away? And now they won't have those results in time if the fight goes on...I'm not going to slate Benn yet - he's entitled to due process.
But this fight can't possibly go ahead as things stand. If Eubank wants to fight and something happens to him then I say he's a big boy making his own decisions. But it would be a disaster for boxing which is bigger than just Eubank.
And again we see the problems with the sport having no real overarching governance.
If the fight gets canceled can Benn sue VADA if he's clean? Fkn with someone's career here.
VADA coming off like amateursComment

VADA supposed to be the Gold Standard of testing really ***ed this all up. Should of already had the B sample tested as soon as first one failed. What sht get lost in an email???Comment

B sample will say exactly the same.
Benn's defence won't even contemplate the B sample and I doubt it will ever see the light of day.
They will argue about the tests he passed and how the timing means he couldn't possibly have been on steroids.
The people who do this aren't ******. Big name fighters can afford the kind of people that VADA and UKAD can't. They made a slight miscalculation this time but they'll have built enough wiggle room into their timing.Comment

And 99% of the time u are right. And now that you bring that up I'm pretty sure the boxer has to ask for the b sample to be tested when told A failed?

I think so. Or they can waive their right to have it tested.
Either way, the whole "test the B sample" catchcry isn't really a thing. It just rules out contamination during testing, which doesn't really happen.Comment

Didn't the California Athletic Commission allow Valdez to defend his title even after he was popped ?
It was a similar thing to this situation where he was popped with a week to go before his fight???Comment
