Comments Thread For: Conor Benn Reacts To WBC Decision, Explains Frustration With Aftermath

[KillaCamNZ]

Let's be honest - these sanctioning orgs, and testing companies, know full well what the damage to the sport would be if they were transparent and actually tried to catch and name athlete's using PED's.

What we see is basically just a batch release - catch a few every now and then, enough to try and maintain public integrity at least. But peel it back, or at least try and test thoroughly, and half of the sport is going down.

The WBC's of the world cannot afford to actually look for and weed out the cheaters, because it'll collapse their own revenue stream. It's not in their best interests to be thorough, and that will ultimately mean corruption isn't going anywyhere.

I couldn't care less about Benn. I was responding to your "he should have taken them to court." He's preparing for it, now what?

Lmao so he claims. I’ll put that in the rubbish bin with the rest of his “claims”. Just do it. If he was gonna sue them he would’ve sued them. If the results would’ve been dismissed in court..they would have been dismissed in court. Benn saying a lot stuff on Twitter but NONE of it is true. If it was true it would be true. He would’ve done those things not tweeted about what would happen if he did

This kid is nearly as ****** as the people who defend this nonsense , the Middle East seems the best place for him .He has only dug himself a bigger hole and made a 'career' laughing stock of himself ....but it's time for Edward to get some of his investment back so he'll be 'show' soon against another stiff....

I read benns full statement,it’s hilarious. Anyone who buys that BS is an idiot. He’s claiming things that are clearly untrue. “If this went to a court of sports arbitration the findings would have been dismissed”. So why didn’t you go that route instead of posting clearly bogus claims on Twitter? Just cause benn says things doesn’t make them true. The WBC clearly stated in its statement that their was no mishandling or wrongdoing by the labs and he was cleared of INTENTIONALLY ingesting clomifiene. There’s absolutely no question as to whether he was on it or not. Benn is trying to create the illusion he is being cleared for shotty lab practices which is asinine

No doubt Benn is spreading BS. But let's be honest, is the WBC any more trustworthy than him?

Nailed it, 100%.

In this day and age, far too many people mistake Twitter for a court of law.

You're a cheat bro! I've got a good spidey sense for PED cheats after listening to their excuses/explanations and I get the very same vibes off as you as I did for Canelo who has been a notorious, long time cheater.

Benn is making all sorts of accusations and playing the mental health card. He's absolutely desperate because he knows that UKAD won't let him get away with it.

False positives from mass spectrometers etc., do happen but they're very rare and two false positives are even rarer.
However the chance of TWO false positives returning exactly THE SAME drug (that's not really in the sample) must be vanishingly small.
VADA uses WADA accredited labs to test their samples - these labs are the best in the world.
The idea that the same mistake was made by the WADA accredited lab or labs, returning the presence of the same drug, appears to be almost impossible.

Benn submitted his nutrition and supplement details for his training camp to the WBC in early February and an expert nutritionist identified that the high egg consumption could be a valid reason for the presence of Clomiphene in Benn's samples. The WBC gave Benn an excuse and yet Benn still wants to believe that there was something wrong with the testing - I think I know why.
Benn was found not guilty by the WBC because "strict liability" isn't part of the WBC CBP rules - in other words a boxer isn't responsible for what ends up in their body.
However, WADA rules DO include "strict liability" and these are the rules that Benn signed up to because UKAD is a WADA accredited body.
Therefore Benn knows that the UKAD/BBBofC investigation, which can use evidence from anywhere (i.e. VADA), are going to find him guilty as he is responsible for what ends up in his body. Which is why Benn's persisting with his accusations about the testing process and also slagging off UKAD & the BBBofC.

UKAD & the BBBofC are also investigating Benn's relationship with dodgy Dr Usman Sajjad, who Tyson Fury uses as well. Sajjad posted how to get around urine drug tests and other stuff to do with getting around drug tests. I doubt there'll be any revelations from this though.

So the upshot of all this is that Benn will probably get at least a 2 year ban (unintentional drug use) and then Benn will launch legal proceedings against UKAD & the BBBofC.
He may even launch proceedings in anticipation of the ban. However, unless Benn can prove that both drug tests were contaminated, he will lose the case.

Nope.

They need to hurry up and let this guy fight cuz he is pretty exciting. He has potential and plenty of guys to fight.

[LAchargers373]

WBC even gave him an out to say it must’ve have been the eggs like they gave canelo with beef but benn won’t take it lmao. He thinks he’s bigger than Canelo. As far as him being an exciting fighter? Yawn I haven’t seen much out of him that impresses me especially now the fact he’s been popped for being on PEDS. The benn name isn’t even that big neither is eubanks they didn’t do **** in America there sons are even bigger nobodies it’s hilarious how important they think they are
