Comments Thread For: Matchroom Exec Says BBBofC Needs to Clarify Rules on Positive Drug Tests

[Tonyu]

Eddie Hearn owes Miller an apology after he was found guilty by VADA cabcelking the Joshua fight. Eddie needs to explain why sign up to VADA if you going to ignore the tests. Eddie is a hypocrite.

When BJ Saunders and Whyte got away with it, even journalists and fans openly talking about how corrupt and scummy the whole thing was didn't change anything. Seems likely nothing will change here. Matchroom drug cheats exploit loopholes to avoid punishment and the loopholes are never closed. Funny for this Matchroom exec to act like he has a problem with that set-up.

It's not the BBBBBofBB's fault Benn tested dirty. Once the dirty test happened, any money they lost is on them and Benn. They knew that bag had a hole in it 15 before. What made them continue and ignore the test findings? Thats what needs clarification.

Sorry Frankie baby, you and your spoiled little rich boy boss didn't get your way this time, get used to it your karma is hitting and hard.....

It boils down to Matchroom bragging about 'extra testing ' at their convenience but not wanting to react when it doesn't suit financially.They have been shown for who and what they are....

The board eventually did the right thing BUT should have cancelled straight away, VADA according to Hearn is the best testing body available (when it suits) and must now be part of BBBC if it is to be continued as a testing body .Frank Smith is too blinded by money that he can't see that his stance here is just unacceptable as he is like Hearn just trying to hide the fact that they were/are looking at taking the board to court because the fight didn't go ahead ...they are NOT good for the sport ....period.

Wow, the brass necks on Matchroom... Absolutely disgraceful. They can try and spin this all they want but there’s no way of hiding it. Their fighter failed a test, they tried to cover it up, they then tried to force the fight to go ahead and let the prospect of financial gain supersede the safety of a fighter. Truly disgusting behaviour.

Great post…

They’ve been completely exposed.

Matchroom wants the same loophole they used when Dillian Whyte popped against Oscar Rivas. He failed a VADA test, but passed the UKAD test, and the BBBoC didn't have the resources to fight Matchroom in court when they asserted that the UKAD test was the one that mattered.

Whyte was the opposite I think, he passed VADA but got caught by UKAD. That’s why Eddie was all pro VADA saying that was the much more reliable result. How things change…

Exactly & exactly the same is happening now with the B-sample not being tested.
Anyone can pass the ukad piss test.
With Hearn saying close the loop hole is he saying ban Benn?
Wada should step in with an instant ban, ukad are not fit for purpose.
