In all honesty I don’t know the facts. If he has taken something knowingly then yes. If… as he says he has it’s an error or something has happened then no. It’s always going to be difficult to know without the facts. think it would be interesting if all those that fail a test took a lie detector test
It’s not regulated properly worldwide. Too far gone now to put right. only way I could see it is if all 4 governing bodies were bought out. Amalgamated and had the integrity of the sport at its core. proper medicals at shows, full testing, actual worthwhile mandatories that cant be avoided etc
No. We never even had it with Tyson Fury who was the heavyweight champion of the world when he popped for steroids
Whilst I agree with this point, all that would happen is another body would spring up to 'recognise' people who didn't quite make it, or want to duck a mandatory, and we'd be back to square one. The notion that any particular body has a claim to be a world championship, purely through recognition by others in the professional cartel as part of 'unification', sums up the industry. As much as we all enjoy it, and as hard as individual bouts are, boxing is barely a legitimate, competitive sport.
What I was getting at was would we have all this dragging on with Williams acting in the quite bizarre fashion that Benn and his team of idiots are? Let's face it, he's guilty of getting juiced to the gills, it's clear as day and if it wasn't then the two tests tell us everything. He failed twice, you don't fail twice and look like a jacked up California Raisin (remember that cartoon?) if you aren't juicing.
What i dont get is there seems to be 3 excuses kicking around atm. Ate too many eggs. Took the wrong medication also went down on his mrs who was on medication at the time. Which one is it? Looks exactly like their throwing as many excuses out there as they can. As far as i see it. The night that test came back as failed...you need to account for the exact reason for that failure. He didnt seem to have any reason even by the time it went public and the fight was cancelled. I know theres legalities to it....but surely if innocent you clear your name as best as you can at the first oppertunity. You look back over your camp and look at anything that might have caused it. Lets say it was too many eggs. Surely you find out things that could trigger a fail....and match it up if you know for a certainty no peds we,re involved. If your eating as many eggs as stated surely its not hard to find the reason. What we got was no mention of the fail till they we,re forced to go public. No real reasoning giving to the public or eubank junior. Months of hiding....a 256 page report for a defence and 3 different excuses so far. Add to that he looked completely suspicious of roiding anyway. Life ban imo. Just the way the whole things been handled. One strike and out. I think the future is you need your reason for the failure out their from day one or two. If you dont have one 2 to 5 year ban. If you,ve suddenly become much better out of nowhere also. From going life and death with unnamed opponents to icing ex world champions. It should be lifetime. To dangerous a game as it is.
If the rat does make his return. If the oppenent doesn't come out to a certain Verve Song then they've let us all down
No but thats probably because Williams isnt a golden goose and they wouldnt try to bend tge system over to get him fighting again
One thing aside from Benn (in my opinion obvious cheating, and in fairness he isnt the only one) that shpuld be considered to improve the sport is that the BBBoC or UKAD opens its own supplement store for fighters. Since a lot claim that they took a n over the counter mediciation or suppplement that caused a positive test, let the authority run a shop for athletes so they can monitor exactly whats in each mediciation/supplement that way if say you have a spout of fighters test positive they can look at what theyve been taking and say ok fair enough its on our end but more importantly if a fighter says no thank you ill find my own stuff then there can be no excuse. If they test positive after then the accidental intake should be disregarded as they havent done their die dilligence.
I do think 5 years ago when Eddie was undisputed King, and could list off so many champs or massive draws he would have dumped Benn ages ago. Now AJ is massively on the slide, Dillian has been exposed and his next biggest UK draw is some fat bloke from Essex. His entire business is desperate for Benn.
You do know the facts, he popped not once but twice for the same thing whilst looking juiced up to the gills. Those are the facts
Meh id water it down a bit but yeah pretty much this, AJ still makes loads of money but i reckon with latest deal most stays in AJs pocket and not Hearns. Whyte is what Whyte is. They havent really capitilised on Callum Smith (who biggest matches were under sauerland bros banner). In reality he would be much better putting his eggs in Cordina's basket than Benn's. Benn is tainted now imo, whether your casual fan will see it that way i dont know but regardless IMHO the second Benn goes in with a live world class welter (roided to the gills or not) he will lose.
You are out of order mate. I actually feel sorry for Benn. Rotten luck for him that the scientist at VADA who has checked his sample accidentally spilt some of his own blood in to the sample. Even worse luck that prior to his shift starting, he went down on his Mrs wound. And she had a yeast infection and was on medication. And then, by some miracle, exact same thing happened again 2 months later.
