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

A cynical man might say they were planning to get him busted in the build up, if they all knew he was cheating. Maybe that's why Hearn wouldn't let him take the fight? Couldn't allow him to fight on a show he didn't have full control over. If he'd have pissed dirty on a Queensbury show Frank would have been on cloud 9. Remember if the Mail hadn't leaked the story, Eddie would have got away with the cover up

Lol maybe. Benn probably did fail a 2nd test but Warren chiming in is just because they're rivals.

Let due process run its course. But if the man is found guilty of PED use -- especially multiple counts -- then he should be banned from the sport permanently. Boxing is too dangerous a sport to allow drug-fortified men to get in the ring with a clean fighter.

I read, “transition”

A transition is a type of transformation friend. I’m speaking to someone I’ve known almost 10 years.
Are you trying to correct me newbie? Sure hope not; bc you are wasting both of our time, which equals money: that is if you don’t live in your Grandma’s basement son. You are excused this time son.

The beleaguered Conor Benn is being investigated for a reported claim of a second drug violation earlier this year for clomifene. If Benn is found guilty, he could be banned from the sport for over four years.
What’s troubling is the new claim against Benn from earlier this year is for the same clomifene drug, and yet nothing happened.

A longer suspension or more than four years for Benn (21-0, 14 KOs) would remove the possibility of him fighting Chris Eubank Jr, and would see him not return to the ring until he was in his early 30s.


This means Peddie HGHearn and Matchroid Boxing we're successful at covering up a failed test and must be held accountable.

Ultimately this is one of the reasons people don't love the sport anymore , I heard he tested positive the first time out of camp lol so what,ok Connor slap on the wrist from uncle Eddie, just make sure it's not in your system when your being tested before a fight, I grew up watching his dad , one of my favourite fighters in the golden era of super middleweights in England, just a sad day for the sport yet again, needs to be banned for life set the bar and stick with it

Just done a deal with vanity fair to announce his immediate retirement from boxing to concentrate on the miracle birth of his first child in the new year ,there's talk it is an immaculate conception your not the messiah connor your a very naughty boy

UKAD being the apparent overarching "anti-doping" they should have EVERYTHING to do with this.

And the fact they don't should be alarming to the boxing world and any and all athletes who ever want to compete in the UK, in any and all sports...

You're essentially saying Jarrel miller and the likes shouldn't of faced any consequences because "VADA" caught him and others.

They're after all just a reporting agency essentially the commission is the one who enforces bans...

UKAD deals with every sport in the UK if they can't find a drug that's pretty much banned in every single sport then what are they doing as an organisation!? other than taking charitable donations...

Sorry, obv didn't express myself properly!

I (incorrectly) thought with the test fail being vada it would be entirely up to bbbc to decide on the action. Someone else posted on another thread the regulations that show ukad still has input.

The more the merrier and I would like to see lengthy bans handed out to cheaters.

Thanks.
