Comments Thread For: British Board Confirm Conor Benn is Being Investigated Over Failed Test

[Boxing2695]

Given Whyte and Fury were both given 2 years down from 4 for their first "offence" I'm sure Connor will likely get similar assuming he's proven "guilty" of said offence.

Yeah that's true we just don't know the ins an out yet so it will be better to judge when other things come out about it because even if it wasn't intentional which I don't why it woudnt be for that kinda stuff he was taking he should still get some sort of punishment cus whyte for example his first ban was down to stuff in a protien powder he consumed an he still got banned for 2 years but again he wasn't a known fighter or had any kinda backing from promoters or a broadcaster he was still fighting small hall shows where conor does but if he's failed for the same stuff before in another test then I don't know how you can excuse it

Whyte popped in a UKAD test and admitted he'd taken the supplement without getting medical advice first. Effectively they deemed it intentional (or at least reckless).

Second time around he was popped by UKAD again but exonerated given he'd been passing tests prior and after. His defence was contamination.

Benn hasn't even popped with UKAD. He'll defend this easily.
