Do some research on what athletes use clomid for.This truly sucks.
So Benn passed all of the official tests from UKad, yet the British Board doesn't want to sanction the fight because Conor had a trace amount of a female fertility drug?
So ******. Boxing hey. No valid reason to postpone this fight, and people made plans for this weekend, wtf.Comment

"Lead promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom, had his legal team attempt to challenge the decision of the BBBoC, but that attempt has failed."
Damn Eddie! Been a very rough couple of weeks hasn't it? Can't blame Al and Bob for this one!Comment

Daily Mail broke the story, and BBBOC came out and said they wouldn't sanction is soon after. But if the Mail didn't break the story, would everybody have stayed quiet and the fight goes ahead? Feels like it.Comment

Conor Benn-Chris Eubank Jr bout off after failed drugs test
"Clomid (the brand name for clomifene) is a fertility drug that will raise testosterone by 50%," Victor Conte, the founder of BALCO, told ESPN. Conte served time in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute performance-enhancing drugs before founding SNAC, a sports nutrition company.
Clomifene is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, and the doping test on Benn was carried out by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), an organization that offers anti-doping testing in boxing and mixed martial arts.
Saturday's 157-pound fight between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. has been called off after Benn tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug clomifene.

Right decision. Another fight bites the dust. A month or so ago was looking forward to this, Buatsi-Pascal, Dubois-Whyte, Crawford-Spence, Yarde-Bierby, Parker-Andrade and of course Fury-AJ. How things change?Comment
