    Vada are the only ones that seem to catch any superstar boxers. Pretty sure thats why Mayweather was always banging on about Usada, guy was juiced to the gills.

    If UKAD weren't notified immediately surely Matchroom are violating some sort promoting rule?

    I hope team Eubank didn't just agree to go on with the fight for free.

    Frank W was ok TalkSport there, saying VADA testing must have been in their contracts.

    And VADA is also hopeless and corrupt. Very few are caught.

    I always laugh in situations like this,
    thinking of all the guys at Sky high fiving each other
    other promoters revelling in the situation

    You can't blame them either, with how Hearn acts.

    Kalle the drug sniffer doesn't give a monkeys about the positive test. He's getting in front of any microphone he can, to say the fight is going ahead.

    Eddie is worming his way around the media, taking digs at the BBBofC saying either clear the fight to go ahead or cancel it. Knowing full well, they probably can't do the latter.

    Seems like a lot of boxers don't want to enroll but I would think your right, trust none of them!

    I just wonder what the excuses will be. Clomiphene (brand name normally comid) is used by a lot of gum juice heads and often in place of testosterone.

    Hearns is the sleaziest of them all. Anyone with a brain knows that if you don’t dope you won’t cope, but he makes a point of virtue signalling when he should just keep his gob shut. His two biggest cash cows are the most blatant juicers in boxing history ffs.

    Wasn’t a fan of the fight from the start but the stigma around PED use by Conor Benn is greatly damaging to the sport, if indeed it can be classed as a sport. It’s a terrible message for aspiring boxers in that you cannot compete without PED’s.What I also find hard to understand is why 2 testing bodies are used this just seems to muddy the water. The BBoBC needs to grow a pair and start trying to clean boxing up.

    So team eubank have had these results analysed themselves and see no adverse findings.

    That does paint a different picture and not necessarily mean eubank jnr is just fighting to keep his payday.

    Jr is ready clean and 60%. I was never really big on Jr but the build up to this and now the failed test has not had me wanting a fighter to KO another this bad for a while. I hope Jr puts Benn on the moon.
