Not saying Eddie would be ungenuine or anything BUT I have heard Eddie and Kalle saying the BBBoC massively delayed any decisions etc which put pressure on them. Also one of the biggest criticisms most have had of the board. With Rob Smith confirming they have not recieved anything at all from Team Benn that they requested, this is a massively contrived move from Hearn/Benn to add extra mud and put the spotlight on someone else. I would imagine the Board wanted to cancel the fight very early on, but Eddie/Benn were threatening them hugely with legal process etc.
At this point tbh nothingbwould suprise my current stand point is they are innocent until failed test.
Normally I would be with you on this, but Cordina, Cash and Richards all improved hugely. With the nonsense carry on with Benn, it just makes it really hard for me to believe it.
Andy Clarke made an interesting point on the ID social podcast today. He said that anyone with a BBBofC license won't be able to participate in any fight that involves Benn whilst he is still under active investigation. That includes fighters, judges etc. **** knows how the plan on getting Benn back in the ring if he hasn't even submitted any documentation to UKAD.
UAE you would think. Hearn looks a mug for defending him here. If I was Benn and I was innocent I would be happy to get fined for breaching confidentiality to show the world the proof I was innocent. All smokes and mirrors
No reason he can't fight in the UK. If he is licensed by a different country, they can provide all the officials etc.
They’ve switched from the egg theory to a contamination theory now. Lots of crooked and bent lawyers looking for loopholes ha. Fact is you don’t find clomid in anything other than clomid, a PILL you swallow.
And you take it as Post cycle therapy following a course of anabolics, to lower estrogen and signal natural test to switch back on. No way around it.
So Eddie tells us. However ... The 2021 UK Anti-Doping Rules, Version 1.0, in effect as from 1 January 2021 UKAD: OFFICIAL 5.2 Testing jurisdiction 5.2.1 All Athletes who are subject to these Rules (including any Athlete serving a period of Ineligibility) must submit to Testing upon demand by or on behalf of UKAD at any place and time (whether In-Competition or Out-ofCompetition, and whether in the United Kingdom or overseas). 5.2.2 WADA and other Anti-Doping Organisations also have jurisdiction under the Code to test Athletes who are subject to these Rules. The NGB and UKAD will recognise such Testing, and UKAD may bring proceedings against an Athlete pursuant to these Rules for an Anti-Doping Rule Violation arising out of such Testing.
Don't the BBBoC have to sanction bouts held in the UK though? Can use same reason they did before "Not in the interests of Boxing" ??
Totally different circumstances but the Haye vs Chisora was a Luxembourg contest because Chisora was banned for throwing a chair. So I think it would be totally fine. The "Not in interests of boxing" could work but it would end up being a battle of lawyers, so the Board wouldn't win
