You’re likely not wrong in fairness. I’m not sure when they would have found out but I’d suspect it was long before the story broke. Had it not been for public backlash the board would have likely turned a blind eye, but at least, they came to right decision in the end. Some disgraceful behaviour from Matchroom and Wasserman this week and I hope they’re dealt with accordingly.

Sadly they probably won’t be dealt with accordingly. they’re the ones actually trying to take the British board of control to court, for “wrongly” prohibiting the fight.
The worst thing is they might actually have a case because technically VADA have no affiliation with the board of control, so he is technically not banned or anything. So the promoters legally might actually have a case of them having no reasons to prohibit the fight which is terrible
Still you would expect the board of control legally can refuse to sanction a fight at their discretion if they feel it’s not right. I think that’s why Eddie is going down the route of taking them to court over refusing somebody’s right to work.
The brass neck on the promoters though, Acting like the victims when they are trying to let a doping fighter get in the ring with a drained fighter while hiding it from the public. A young lad got killed on Eddie’s show in USA just a couple of years ago, You would think that something that sticks with a promoter and does everything they can to ensure safety of fighters.
Whatever happens, they have come out of this looking terrible. Especially them older videos of Hearn talking about this exact scenario.Last edited by deathofaclown; 10-06-2022, 06:35 PM.Comment

My guess would be the commission in charge of enforcing the rules that i imagine are written down somewhere. Pretty much like your boss deciding wether you can use heroin whilst you are in control of one of his forklifts. If he thinks it is hazardous to you or the health and safety of others under his watch...then its his entitlement...one which would be written into your work contract...to terminate your position...i.e. cancel your contract with immediate effect. Dont act the fool. Benn would have signed an agreement stating that he would not use certain substances...a list that would have been provided to him. It was his choice to breach that agreement.Comment

which has to do with ped use. which is what im talking about.
my comprehension is just fine.
you just dont have the honesty to talk about this because of not just your conceited sanctimonious opinion on the matter at hand, but your inability to see basic common sense and logic.
work on that first.
then maybe you got a chance at comprehension.Comment

- - Smitty a doddering ol'fool, probably fat as well. Not gonna comment on a story where fighters are scientifically tested, but the values are almost never released.I often criticise Robert Smith and his “jobs for the boys” approach but they certainly deserve some credit here.
Despite their backtracking, Hearn and Kalle put a tremendous amount of pressure on the board to sweep Benn’s FAILED drug test under the rug. They tried to both legally and financially bully the BBBofC into sanctioning this fight. Both should have their promoters licenses suspended IMO. I think Carl Frampton sums it up perfectly:
I really hope the board continue this strong-hand approach cause this really isn’t acceptable and needs addressing for the sake of the sport in this country. The promoter’s desperation for financial gain completely superseded the safety of the fighters and not for the first time. We all remember the Whyte-Rivas situation were Rivas wasn’t made aware of Whyte’s failed test until after the fight had taken place. Had the Daily Mail not broke the story would Eubank Jr had been put in the same position? Questions need to be asked and a thorough investigation is needed. Let’s hope the board don’t cave under the pressure and we get some justice.
The oceans are full of human coliform and global waterways steeped in both legal and illegal drugs such wildlife and livestock are contaminated directly.
So Smith operates in a nontransparent sport, just another useful idiot for the crooks who run the show.Comment
