Comments Thread For: Conor Benn Admits To Testing Positive For Banned Substance in "Two" VADA Tests

[Boxingfanatic75]

I wonder when Manny Pacquiao will finally himself admit to all the epo he took to move up 8 full weight classes while retaining his punching power and being able to hurt bigger stronger men. Only idiot casuals think it’s clean for a former flyweight to move up all the way to super welterweight and dominate a division that heavy. And by what I see online , a lot of idiots actually think Pacquiao was clean rofl

Can we skip the conjecture and hate for a moment, as well as the emotional rant and please provide us with evidence that Manny popped on any test? The same goes for Mayweather too.

I think what needs to happen is a 1 year ban and/or jail time for a promoter whose fighter is caught. That would shift the onus on the promoter to hire the best lab (VADA) to ensure the contracted athlete is playing straight. At the moment, no one is accountable when VADA exposes a cheater. Promoters try to gain sympathy by claiming losses due to unnecessary expenses. Or justify things with the less stringent standards of a local athletics commission. Only public pressure can cancel the event. Think about it. This Benn-Eubank fight would have been held if a reporter had not exposed the issue several days before the fight.

What I'd like to know is: did Hearn know about these earlier postive test results and still proceeded with negotiating/promoting the Benn-Eubank event?

Lol, bruh that's ridiculous. You can't get punished for someone else's crime.

There is no justice there.

Ban and jail a promoter for what a fighter did?

Lol, nonsense

As bad as roids/PEDs are, the user has yet to hurt/kill a MFer and winning is not a certainty

You can't get punished for someone else's crime.

If a business owner knowingly allowed an employee to break laws for profit, then it seems plausible, yes?

[bullydean]

Roy Jones, Tyson Fury and Shane Mosley are notorious PED cheats did they admit to it?

Fury pissed hot for the Hammer fight but was clean for the Klitschko fight. Then there's the whole thing where Fury threatened to sue UKAD if they didn't test his B sample which came out negative. Fury was literally vindicated because of this which is why UKAD returned his NC from the Hammer fight back into a W.

Didn't Canelo have a similar situation? Pissed hot but then his hair got checked because the PED he allegedly took is more concentrated and stays within the hair for a long period of time only to come out negative?

Ha ha ha!! That is true … Lewis did fail a drug test and so have hundreds of American athletes including the most disgusting one of all … Lance Armstrong who is a low life anus of a warthog

Speaking as an American, we are the world’s greatest hypocrites. We accuse the Russians of PED, boycott their Olympics and lambast them for the invasion of Ukraine, meanwhile, we do all that and then some.

The hypocrisy is real, man.

2 things on Armstrong, however:

(1) he reckons Tour De France is impossible w/out ‘assistance’, and tbh, that’s probably true of stage 1, let alone the rest, and certainly actually winning the damn thing.

(2) At least he’s not getting assistance to beat someone’s face in.


Now whether that last point makes him less of a scumbag than doping boxers is debatable. Obv, we’ve heard about how he went out and destroyed ppl for whistleblowing, which is ****ing low.

This is very true. There are loads of variables to the end result, and that’s just one of them.

Although, not sure about the other point: perhaps haven’t had a death, but in Benn’s case, alone, Vargas folded like Origami and Chris Algieri looked in all kinds of trouble.

I really believe the vast majority (some has claimed 90+%) top boxers/athletes are taking some form of PED, Conor just one of the ****** ones that got caught. It's the reality of high $take$ professional sports. The only fighter I believe is clean is Donaire.

There is proof of non drug cheaters perma hurting/killing a mug.
The best a drug cheater can do maybe win a UD.

To add, when people say the user is putting their health at risk....I have to lol.
IT'S BOXING

Besides, that has yet to be seen.

[elfag]

Just stop all testing its ******.


what is the point of testing if they wont inform the public of failed tests and they dont have any impact


and for the tests that do get revealed to the public they often will allow the fight to continue anyways


its ****** and pointless, everyone is on peds


I mean look at this fight, BOTH guys were on peds before the fight, so that makes them even so then just let them fight
