    Sorry no I wasn't calling up what you was saying. Just meant in interviews

    I keep hearing it has a huge afterlife and also it's a masking agent. Seems a contradiction in terms.

    Yep agreed, sounds a contradiction and the only explanation must be that an additional substance is used to mask the Clomid or something.

    It infuriates me when he comes out with that line.
    I can't answer any questions cos of a legal case but I can tell you a load of lies to make everyone else look bad.

    I find it funny that Simon Jordan has somehow become the defacto judge and the ultimate arbitrator of determining whether someone is being truthful or not.

    Its like saying a public figure must be interviewed by Pierce Morgan and nothing else would be acceptable.

    Benn is a cheat and should hold his hands up

    He hasn't. It's just he's asking the questions that people want answered and cutting through all the waffle. Hearn is basically being allowed to get away with this. If it wasn't for people like Jordan then Operation Sweep Under the Carpet would be going a lot better right now.

    "Eddie said he had only ever failed one test, now we find out he had failed one a few weeks before" - Simon Jordan on TS yesterday

    Its hardly accusing anyone of lying. He is stating actual fact

    He also keeps saying the amounts found in Benn's system wouldn't be of any benefit to him. Such disingenuous bullsh1t that he knows the people he agrees to do interviews with won't pull him up on.

    How you end up with a small amount, start with a big amount.

    The one point I agree with Hearn on is that the BBoC should not have sanctioned the fight. They did know about both tests.

    Benn pissed hot right when the fight was announced. And again 4 weeks later.

    To me, unless Benn has a valid excuse he should be banned for 4 years. Very black and white. If something has contaminated but you have taken it more than once surely you can identify what it is. The guy cheated and got caught.

    How many other boxers have failed tests that we don’t know about. The sport is a farce

    Not one person has said that. He’s brought into the discussion because people would like Hearn to go onto his neutral platform so that Jordan can challenge him with proper questions. It’s a bit like a couple years back when Tory MPs refused to go on GMB because Piers Morgan was hitting them with too many valid questions that they couldn’t answer (I think Morgan is a c*nt btw but that’s not the point).

    On the IFL interview I listened to this morning Hearn actually challenged Jordan to a charity fight which says it all. He’s trying to deflect as much as possible and is terrified of facing proper interrogation. If he ever does go onto Jordan’s show he’ll obviously use the “it’s a legal case I can’t talk about it” excuse.

    I wonder how much strong arming etc matchroom were doing in the background one this?

    Have thought the same but I feel there is a huge chance the board were being bullied by MR, and MR obviously have infinite more money to spend on legal than the board

    We need a Hearn vs Jordan Gloves Are Off style sit-down, 12x3 minute rounds, a question per round.

    Hearns head trainer could be Bazza with the Matchroom tea boy holding the bucket.

    In Jordans corner Warren and Fury.

    Judges: Liam Smith, Carl Frampton and Sunny Edwards.

    Ref: Sherrif Eubank.

    Reckon Bazza would pull his boy out after the 5th to save him for another day.

    Eddie would fail 14 drug tests in the build up and still force the fight to go ahead with his new 20 stone of pure muscle physique
