Comments Thread For: Conor Benn Prepares For Another Legal Battle, UKAD Appeals Ruling That Cleared Him

[Smash]

this clown is also constantly saying the wbc cleared him too, huh, they said he 'may' have eaten too many eggs & it resulted in his condition to fail the test, which he actually rejects as an argument himself, so the people who his is quoting as clearing him are actually wrong in his eyes too in their assessment, lol, its like a bad comedy sketch

the headline says it all, getting caught with peds is now more of a legal issue than anything else, a legal inconvenience when it should be a standard ban based on the substance with no excuses accepted, this sort of stuff puts people off the sport i would say, unless u are a big fan of the person and actually believe them maybe

If you read the article, they claimed UKAD had no jurisdiction to punish him because VADA did the testing and the National Anti-Doping panel agreed. Rather than prove he didn't dope, his legal team would rather push a legal loophole

The article says that, but as far as I can find out, the NAPD haven't published their findings, so where is the evidence that their ruling was based on jurisdiction, rather than "science"?

Benn and Hearn signed up to VADA but somehow have a problem with their testing. Hearn needs to stop been a hypocrite as his taking a different stance on Benn, Whyte & Miller. Connor failed two tests he should face BBBoC take his ban and keep himself clean. He would have been more respect than going through all this denial.

so what were the original findings that cleared benn from the national anti doping panel?

how did they explain his positive test? where did the clomid come from etc

in order to clear someone i presume u have to have evidence that they are not at fault? where is this evidence

if i was innocent & had this evidence surely i would be sharing it with everyone or maybe the report is out there somewhere & im just too lazy to find it

It seems Benn wasn't "cleared" with regards to whether he did/didn't have banned substance in his sample.

The judgement appears to be that UKAD have no jurisdiction to suspend or ban him as he didn't fail a UKAD test.

BBBC can't suspend him because he doesn't hold a BBBC licence.

Appears to me to be a very clever "legal" arguement that completely avoids the subject of whether/how/why Benn actually had PEDs in his system.

Surely UKAD can contract an international organisation to do their testing for them. For example VADA. Or they can validate a non-contracted organisation's testing results. Again VADA. Then there is the question of whether BBoB can use another agency's results. Why does it have to be a British testing agency that provides the results?

And then, if Benn agreed to VADA testing and by having his blood taken by a VADA agent he did agree the validity of VADA testing and test results, then how can he then afterwards claim that VADA's test results are invalid?

I would say that UKAD has every reason to appeal.

Having said that, the NAPD will have heard all the arguments that I outlined above. They also submit to WADA rules and testing as does UKAD normally. I think the crux of the matter is if Benn signed off on VADA testing - if he did I believe his argument is weakened.
