What on earth is going on? This whole saga get's more complicated, weird and shady by the minute. The timeline of events is just insane. Have I got this right? Benn's team have put all their efforts into the WBC clearing his name with a 270 page legal document, at the heart of this document, contamination is main suggestion? The WBC have come out and ignored that and said, "contaminated eggs" and "free to fight". Benn doesn't like that and is now saying the WBC are wrong. Is he going after VADA and the WBC next? What's his next move? The more this goes on, the more ridiculous it gets. This will go on longer than any ban he may have been given by the BBofBC
Conor Benn was also quick to try and cover his tracks about his involvement with PED specialist Dr Usman Sajjad, after him and Hearn tried to claim that he wasn't a client and had no working relationship with him. Which was another lie in the long list of them. You forget about a lot of these things as it was hard to keep track. Now he's saying he never claimed eggs were the reason for his failed test. He sat down and did an interview with The Sun where he said this. He even said his wife was making a food journal about his 35 eggs a week for his legal case. What planet is the pr1ck on?
They've mudded the waters that much that they can't even swim in them anymore. Their great plan of being 'cleared' by the WBC and being able to push on was dealt a massive blow when the WBC used the contaminated eggs line as it has made him a laughing stock and they can't handle it. If eggs were never the excuse or idea then why was he in the newspapers not long after the news broke talking about his research into clomifene in eggs and his 30-34 a week consumption? Why was his nutritionist so keen to hand over his plan if food contamination was never the intended excuse?
I think we should wait before saying that. I find it hard to believe Benn would be make such claims about the testing process without the legal proof to do so. What his said is hugely damaging and opens himself up to legal action from Vada and the lab involved. Benn had a way out of this but didn't take it.
This goes back to Benn being able to play the bad guy. As I said, he doesn't have it in him. He should have just gone via the board and this would have been done by now. All this game playing has ****ed him. I can't see any body licensing him at the moment.
Curtis Woodhouse says this in one of his videos "Use your eyes, he fails the eye test" He improved drastically, his body changed totally and his power changed. I have absolutely no doubt Conor Benn was a clean fighter, up until losing to Peynaud, at this point he choose to dope.
Why would I need to wait before saying that? It's been the best part of a year since Benn failed his First of two failed tests. He hasn't been able to give us any straight answers and his lawyers/scientists (paid for by himself, not independent) could only come up with a 270 page excuse that even the dodgy WBC didn't agree with. Benn has gone from a skinny kid to ripped and powerful in a short space of time. There was his obvious involvement with the dodgy doctor who deleted all of his online presence as soon as Benn's failed tests were made public. Then Benn gave up his BBBofC licence on the day of a hearing with them. He had given interviews prior to drugs tests saying he has a nutritionist and only has the odd omelette or fried rice. Then recently he suddenly saying he eats loads of eggs per week. Now his bullshite second choice egg excuse is being completely ridiculed he is trying to back peddle. Benn is an arrogant narcissist born with a silver spoon in his mouth. And he is also incredibly stupid.
Read that first line in Mick Hennessy’s voice. “I’m not being funny but what the f is going on”. One of my favourite interviews in British boxing that, a classic.
This is the long and short of it for people who keep saying 'if he was guilty then why would he be going to the lengths he's going?'. When the real question is, if he's innocent then why would he go out of his way to avoid a hearing with the people who really count in all this, the BBBofC? He's as guilty as sin and it's about as clear cut as you will ever get in cases like this. Anyone still claiming otherwise is either lying because they have an agenda to push, or just extremely gullible.
