    Especially as Eddie has been such a gloating **** over the last decade.

    The media and public have really turned on Hearn and Benn over this and even a lot of usual matchroom arse lickers have come out and condemned it. So I think the BBBofC will have no choice but to make an example of him and hand out a lengthy ban. Especially now the finger is being pointed at them and it also looks like Benn has failed other tests.

    Now Hearn could take Benn abroad and get him fighting there, but that would just compound how bad this has made Hearn look, and secondly, no one would be interested. Benn isn't the global superstar Hearn tries to claim he is, that's more fakery just like everything else about this fraud.

    Game over.

    He's such a wanker honestly. Deserves everything he gets if he did fail two drug tests.

    Yep, it's pretty amazing how he makes this statement at the same time as reports are coming out that he failed at least one other test for the same thing:lol:

    They must be pretty confident of being cleared then if Benn has been allowed back on his IG to post that.

    He may fool the casuals but everyone else knows what’s up. At the very least he was beginning to become a fan favourite here with his displays but I’m sure the majority of the public will overwhelmingly support any of his opponents from now on.

    Why would it be a joke if that particular stimulant only gives very rapid short-term benefit? And if he'd got a TUE it might still have been OK anyway?

    Josh Warrington was on TalkSport this morning (the breakfast show, where Eddie usually safely treads) basically saying anyone with any failed test should be banned for life. Didn't mince his words.

    I dunno. You have remember a key part in this is that Benn and Hearn were both born with silver spoons in their mouths and have had everything handed to them on a plate. Especially Benn who has been given opportunities and a platform WAY beyond his actual talent. So people like that can often remain cocky and confident as things around them are going wrong, because they are detached from reality and used to always having things go their own way. They assume that everything will work out fine as their ego and sense of entitlement won't allow for anything else.

    If Benn was truly clear then why not state how he is clear. Surely if he was 100% innocent he could just say, F to VADA they are wrong, come and test my hair, then you will see exactly what I’ve taken etc.

    I hope this doesn’t blow over, at some point DAZN are going to tell Hearn to cut him loose.

    Feel like putting a poll up over this:

    Is Benn:
    - Deluded
    - Brainwashed
    - Following legal advice
    - Innocent

    Why would anyone apologise to him for him failing a drug test

    Bunce going into bat for Benn, obviously desperate to retain access to Hearn’s stable.

    If he was innocent then why go to such great lengths to cover it up? Hearn now seems to be implying there is an issue with the VADA testing. So if that's the case, why wasn't he singing from the roof tops about this? Especially as it now looks like Benn has failed more than one test.

    Your man gets wrongly popped twice for the same substance and not only do you keep quiet about it and try to sweep it under rug, you tell the whole world that VADA are the gold standard of drug testing. Only a complete idiot would believe Benn is innocent.
