Comments Thread For: Algieri on Benn's Positive Test: Not Surprised, I Heard Rumors He Wasn't a Clean Fighter

But let's just jump to NEGATIVE conclusions and forget about innocent until PROVEN guilty ?
What's a guy to do if no one tests him ?

It's up to the sport to do it's job.
Are criminals walking up to police asking to be arrested ?

It's all about proof.

Yes, I get it.

The reality is that the "powers" in the sport don't care; don't want to spend the $$; don't want to stop it.

Andbthr proof is...he failed for a drug that is only used in male athletes when they're boosting T. Which is banned.

You have your proof. Chris is just saying, now that it's proven, it validates what he heard and likely felt thst night.

What do you think of Evander Holyfield? I am sure he was 100% PEDS cheater.

You mean "Evan Fields"?

He failed the most basic test: there's proof of the stuff being mailed to his home.

And ain't said shlt until after the fact.

Sit down.

When Floyd called out suspected PED use by Manny, the result was a slander lawsuit and Manny delaying signing. That was 2012. Which then caused NSB to claim that Floyd was to blame for asking about drug testing.

The point: when it's a fight and there's money at stake, coward fighters will just refuse to sign if you call out PEDs. Algieri is a warrior.

And this is exactly why so little testing is done!
No test, no fail, no proof, no ban.
Thanks.

. . . don’t come out about a questionable drug that doesn’t even help a fighter or camouflage other drugs.

Which drug are you referring to here? Surely not Clomid that Benn has popped for?

Dominic Ingles fighters have been suspect for years.

(If there is no testing, there is no failing)

Regrettably it will never be that simple. As things stand, who is suspending Benn? Not BBBofC as they don't follow VADA.

Just highlights how fcuked boxing is. The orgs don't care unless a guy is fighting for them. The sanctioning bodies don't care unless they're sanctioning the fight. And apparently, in this case, the opponent doesn't even care.

So if no-one cares, why should we expect fighters to be clean?

I care, taking a brake from boxing for some time

I agree with you totally, it's just a shame it seems Connor Benn has taken that route, question marks are all over his resume now if there proves to be no issue with the testing carried out.

Definitely. For me, his record's null and void. But obv, this will be no obstacle at all to him rinsing it in like the others.
