Benn is going to be hit with a ban. I feel a little sorry for him. Literally everyone is juicing and of course they all come out now and act like juicing is the worst thing in the world. Game theory.
The fighter decides if he wants b sample at his cost and after listening to dan Rafael he thinks even if they requested for the b sample it would have been very tight. Says it not something done instantly and normally two weeks at a minimum before you get results.
I think the main questions for Hearn is why they virtue signal about a clean sport In public. But when one of their own pings for a known drug you take with other steroids and tren to cheat. That they cover it up. Then only cancel the fight when it gets leaked into the media. If VADA is the good standard then why after failing at end of August didnt they call off the fight there and then? Does Hearn and matchroom have one policy in public and another one behind closed doors? How many other dirty boxers have fought in the last 10 years based on failed tests not being leaked to the media? We know of Whyte but who else. The B sample in this is just a smokescreen to stop us asking the relevant questions above. Going back to Benn. How does a fit man with children of his own at age 26, have an issue with producing testosterone. Unless that man has been on tren which causes issues with testosterone production. If it was a natural issue with testosterone production then why didn’t he do the TUE for testosterone? Something another Hearn fighter enjoyed using for years and is a lot more muscular than he was as an amateur.
6. It seems that both camps - both Hearn and Sauerland - knew about the Conor Benn situation and entered into a secret agreement behind the scenes. How many fights has Eddie Hearn / Matchroom arranged in the last 10 years with the same scenario ?
I just can’t believe the board doesn’t recognise the test, just because it didn’t come from UKAD. Those involved need to hang their heads. They have all been exposed as corrupt or incompetent, take your pick. It’s probably been happening for years too, unbeknown to the general public and those outside the loop. Whoever leaked the test to the press has done boxing a big favour.
Why did Benn say that he phoned Eubank this week after the news leaked, something Eubank said never happened?
To suggest Frank would act any different is ludicrous. They are all as bad as each other- Barry Jones even hinted at it during his podcast with Buncey that they about boxers juicing but it’s never discussed publicly. Boxing needs cleaning up from the inside and that requires people not sitting behind a curtain of silence.
One phrase a lot of the insiders kept using was "now it's in the public domain" I'm not naive I know this happens but is never spoke of. But I wonder just how many?
That's the million dollar question isn't it. Sport is a joke, they should just legalize PED's and be done with it.
It appears the BBBoC met the day before it hit the tabloids and prohibited the fight. Clearly they knew the story was to break. All cloaks and daggers and a complete lack of transparency. Every other sport would be making an example of said star who was caught taking PEDs. Boxing is the only sport where you litigate the governing body for not allowing a drug cheat to compete.
The bjs one was slightly different, the substance he was using isn’t a banned substance in the uk or with UKAD.. so slight less black and white
