Comments Thread For: Report: Conor Benn Being Investigated Over Claims of Second Test Failure

[Kannabis Kid]

It might have meant an earlier test for this fight, its vague in how it's being reported.

He tested positive for the same substance earlier this year according to the reports nothing associated with the Eubank fight that's why it's being investigated. There is a reason he didn't enroll in the WBC clean boxing program in January.

Things are not only coming apart for Benn who needs to be banned for 4 years at least but they are also coming apart for young edward Hearn and matchroom. If journalists uncover that Benn had pissed hot in previous fights and matchroom hushed it and dazn knew about it thete needs to be action taken for all involved on top of the action that needs to be taken for how the Eubank fight played out. There can be no doubting that this string of devastating knockouts were driven by extreme ped usage by Benn. He could have literally killed someone.
criminal charges need to follow and if I were an attorney I’d take tort cases pro bono against matchroom and dazn for the recent Benn victims.

You had me, until you got to the pro bono. Paraphrasing English law, the loser pays for all the lawyers. Stick him/them with the bill.

I hope they ban Benn for atleast 7 months, which would be a full 1 month more than Canelo

These guys are newbies at this cheating thing. Go look and pay attention to Manny Pacquiao. The guy moved up 8 full weight classes while retaining his punching power and being able to throw 1000+ punches per fight. And being able to hurt bigger stronger men. Manny was a master at hiding it

Could Hearn and Matchroom face bans or any consequences over this?? Do they report to anyone?? it seems they already have BBBoc in their pocket..

[Rockybigblower]

Wait, has anything happened to suggest Hearn and DAZN knew and covered it in the past or this just a hunch you’re having? Either way, it’ll be interesting to see where this goes from here.

Yes....to quote Frank Warren...

"A few of us have known about this earlier test for some time," Warren said to Daily Mail. "That makes it even more of a scandal. More damaging to our sport than everyone thought."

What is also scandalous is that Warren - and these others - kept quiet about this earlier test!

Watch eddy convince benn to say he was getting a sex change. That or watch this ruin reputations

WAit for the bbbc hearing, where Benn will turn up with a private doctor's letter saying Benn was having trouble getting his girlfriend pregnant and was prescribed Clomid. Benn will say he didn't realise banned etc - even though it will have been on vada list. Bbbc will accept and give a six month backdated ban. Hope it doesn't go this way but . . . .

Hearn and Matchroom didn't take any PEDs, nor did they put on a fight that was unsanctioned.

The damage is purely reputational.

He can't say that UKADs own site takes you directly to WADA when you click the prohibited list and clomifene is one of the few NAMED substances on the list under SERMS and Anti-estrogen drugs, so unless him and his team don't even look at "prohibited" lists at all, he knew what he was doing and damn the consequences.
