Comments Thread For: Conor Benn: I'm Really Trying To Prove My Innocence, Get To Bottom of What Happened

[MusoMeanderings]

They say spending this much money on defence makes you look guilty. But Benn rather look guilty at the mall than look innocent in jail.

It's been found in his system twice & boxings so crooked he wasn't banned after the first pop.

There is no innocence, he's guilty of failing 2 test's, how it got there is entirely his fault, nobody else.

It seems now boxing is turning a blind eye to vada testing, so why bother at all.

Another nail in the coffin of our once great sport.

Fed up with it.

Conor is right.he’s claiming to spend over 100k quid on this to prove there is a possibility this is contamination. That alone proves to me he must be innocent. The amount of money one spends to prove something to me says if they are guilty or not. Did OJ murder Nicole? Nope. Look how much his legal team cost. Would a guilty person spend that much on a defense team? Think about it .

thats what u have to do innocent or guilty, if i was guilty i would go over board with that stuff because i know it would be my only chance of getting off this plus thats what innocent people do, so guilty or not u have to follow that playbook

I and several of my kids work in industries that require random drug testing. If you test positive, you face the consequences. Why should this guy get a better deal than everybody else? Nobody knows for certain about his guilt or innocence yet, but it's not hard to see how such an entitled mindset could lead a cheater to believe he can get by with it. Entitled people always have an almighty set of hurt feelings when they find they aren't all that special, and the rules are the rules.

If the sport truly wants PEDs out, then people who pop for drugs must be banned for life upon a confirmed positive, no exceptions -- ever. And I'm well aware that would wipe out a lot of current champions from Caneo Alvarez to Tyson Fury. If drugs contributed in any small way to their becoming champions, then they are the very cheaters we most need to be rid of.

Agreed, except for one thing - we DO know for certain that Benn is guily as he has banned substances in his blood.

It’s absolutely hilarious how athletes swear up and down didn’t do nothing! What’s also hilarious is EVERY SINGLE POSITIVE TEST there’s an excuse or “contamination.” It’s as if these testing bodies (most are probably professionals) are doing these tests in some back alley, dirty ******** clinic. These test are conducted within sterile environments, are controlled and packaged and only unsealed when testing. The substance he popped for is not a naturally produced substance within the male body. There is no amount of explaining away that he can do that would change my mind about his guilt.

not the case in boxing, little benn is alluding to others who have tested positive for steroids and got off, im sure dillion whytes cases is front on his mind & he had form too as having been busted before for stuff in the past as well, ukad set dangerous precedents that encourage others to cheat believing they too are entitled to get off the charge as well & people like eddie hearn with their constant BS about it make things worse

Yes, it's disgusting.

The acceptance of these "contamination" results time and time again is just laughable.

The 1st time I knew of a boxer testing positive for PEDS was when Francois Botha failed after beating Axel Schulz for the vacant IBF belt George Foreman dropped. Botha admitted to cheating. He said it was the ******est thing he ever done & it cost him millions as he got stripped & suspended for a year. Can’t recall a boxer admitting guilt since off hand…
