So is your wife on any fertility treatment?’ [Benn said] ’No, she’s not.’ I’m sure people said to him, ‘Say she is.’ His exact words to me, ‘I don’t want to lie.’

By 'people' Eddie is referring to himself.

I have no sympathy for Benn, as he's now failed two tests for the same drug.

After he failed the first test in July, Benn has been quoted as saying he and his team ignored the result, as in their opinion the result must have been wrong.

That's just ridiculous! Surely an innocent boxer should have been asking questions then as to why a banned substance was in his system.

I wish Connor all the best in his future. I'm just disappointed rug was pulled under my feet last minute. That fight was in mybdiary had been looking forward to it

Hearn trying some damage control. Benn going up 10 pounds to fight a decent fighter on the big stage will impulse the team to try something.

Still nothing about how he ingested the illegal substance. I don't know the point of these articles anymore when you can't insist on getting answers on a basic question.

Lies, lies and more lies

So why did Benn relinquish his licence rather than appear in front of the bbbc?

[P to the J]

What exactly is PED use if not a form of deception?

[Nightfall]

This will follow Benn forever
