    Until watching the documentary, I never knew Benn avoided the drugs test due to collapsing on the way back to his dressing room.

    McClellan's coach said they tested blood found on McClellan's boot, which came up positive for Peds.

    I don't know if he used steroids or not, but Benn didn't seem exhausted while being interviewed after the fight.

    Do you find it suspicious?

    It is a little odd but if you collapse im not sure taking more blood is the best way of recovering so that kinda make sense.

    McClellan's trainer is an idiot, a stubborn arsehole who was way out of his depth and happy for a payday he hadn't earned, he seemed drunk in his interview too.

    Nigel Benn has been very honest about his life, give the man some credit.
    He was entitled to collapse in his dressing room, if you or I had taken part in that fight and recived those punches, we'd still be laying there.

    Thing is though, Benn tacitly admitted in the documentary to using steroids but not during his boxing career.

    What he said on at least two occasions is: "I never used steroids during my boxing career." what do you take that to mean?

    How about you post everything that was said, instead of conveniently leaving out certain parts.

    I noticed that too, and it did strike me as odd.

    Is odd that he waited 12 years to make the claim, I have trouble taking anything that guy said, seriously.

    One thing's for sure in my eyes, If G-man had kept Steward, he'd be healthy today.
