    It’s great that Simon Jordan is a boxing fan. Because he’s much less likely to let this go and speaks with clarity on it, and he’s got a big audience

    Exactly this.
    If you were a clean fighter and have just missed out on millions due to your drug test getting contaminated by the testing authority you would be going beserk and sue the arse off them

    Dan Rafael said, on talkSPORT a couple of days after the story broke (time he was interviewed was 0035am), that whilst some substances are allowed at say, a 10% maximum, this substance that Benn took has a 0% allowance within your system.

    Good on Dan for pointing this out.

    "Benn voluntarily relinquished his licence" so he doesn't have a licence with them? I'm confused by everything now

    Sounds like he is getting in first before the BBBoC.

    Hope he gets at least a 2 year ban

    Damn! Thought Eddie would worm his way out of it. Sounds like he's finally admitting his guilt

    They are still working with their team of scientists on a valid excuse that holds up.

    If he was genuinely innocent he would have spoken up by now.

    The whole thing is farcical. Given the draining he was making Eubank do whilst juiced to the gills I hope he gets 4 years.

    If, in years to come, someone knocked up Eddie's daughter he'd be rightly livid.

    If however, she was only a little bit pregnant that would be totally different and indeed, he'd probably see the funny side.

    It's all about the levels see?

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

    His demand for an apology has aged like milk. If he did nothing wrong, why give up your license?

    Anyone sensing Eubank fight happens in UAE.

    Listen Kooogs he relinquished and there wasn’t due process.

    Quite staggered here that someone has advised him to relinquish his licence.

    That act in itself is the clearest possible admission of guilt.

    Benn is finished.

    So what do we reckon? He voluntarily gives up his license because the board can't ban him if he's not licensed with them. He then skulks off to get licensed by someone else while Hearn gives it the spin about trace amounts, contaminated samples and Benn being innocent?
