Comments Thread For: Conor Benn: 'I?m tired of being angry'

It don't think it's a funding issue. The NAPD are the independent body who do the hearings/cases.

Dillian Whyte had a hearing/case via the NAPD in 2014 and lost and was banned, the second time, the NAPD weren't involved as UKAD resolved it internally and the 3rd one the NAPD had a hearing/case and Whyte won.= and was cleared to fight.

I don't think it's case of bleeding it out because if anything it's UKAD/BBBoC who tend to draw these things out for so long. IMO it's more of a tactic for the fighter to just cooperate instead.

Either way, Conor Benn (and Dillian Whyte in his 3rd situation) had hearings via the NAPD and won them and were cleared to fight. This doesn't mean they were actually clean, though.

My understanding was that all of these organizations (NAPD, UKAD/BBBoC) have X amount of money to spend per unit of time on these cases and the fighters who are willing and able to spend enough money to run out the clock until the bodies give up are the ones who get away with it.

I can't imagine any alternative explanation for Whyte, who has been busted two other times in boxing and one other time in kickboxing that we know of.

I'm unsure of the funding level behind the NAPD. It's a government funded program.

I don't think it's really relevant. If you make your claim of innocence then it goes through to a NADP hearing and then you either win and get cleared or lose and get a ban.

It would have been contaminated supplements, In fact I think that may have been his confirmed defense. It's always that because it's both possible and plausible and essentially a get out of jail free card.

He only lost the first case and was banned because he wasn't clued up and how to go around the system, he used contaminated supplements as his defense the first time. The timings of both cases were the same.

Which further shows the problem within the system.
