    They said this on fight disciples.

    IF what he is saying is true, the 1 thing you categorically do not do is hand your license in.

    If you can prove this you would want the board to see the reports and actually help you in your case.

    If it was true the board would absolutely support Benn in his battle

    For all we know the person doing the tests might have a vendetta against Benn.

    The little jumped up prik's statement yesterday has made me loathe him and Eggie Hearn even more. I hope this is the downfall of Eddie and Con. Not Matchroom. Just Eggie. Matchroom can survive without him. He's past his sell by date now. And Con can fack off too.

    Benn hiding ever single negative comment on his latest tweet.

    Smoke & mirrors and muddy the water.

    It’s his truth and he’s sticking to it. Until he changes it again.

    Interesting watching Hearn’s IFL interview yesterday. I’ve not and will not read the 270 page report into this, but he said that nowhere have Benn’s team said that eggs were the cause of the result. It seems a strange thing for him to lie about as it could easily be disproved.

    It's not strange once you consider the parties involved. The WBC is a business pretending to be a sporting governing body. They wAnt whatever outcome keeps the licensing fees flowing. So they're inclined to help an influential promoter and his fighter.

    They don't however want a lawsuit from Vada or to set a precedent that gets them any deeper in the mire. So they made a tactical decision to ignore Benn's 'proof' in the dossier and instead grab on to the life jacket that is innocent contamination via egg consumption. So what if that isn't what Benn argued? The important thing is this will make it go away without pissing off Vada, drawing more critical focus on the WBC and stopping the money flowing in.

    Hence sulaimons robotic interview with Bunce where he blankly repeated 'there is a protocol' whilst stroking a rosary and sweating like a pig.

    Because if you believe what’s been written on here, over consumption of eggs is Benn’s defence. And it’s not.

    Benn has said multiple times about eggs. During the sit down Times interview he made a point of saying his wife was preparing food diaries detailing 35 eggs a day.

    It was something ludicrous like that.

    I cannot read this again because you have to pay, but i'm sure it was in this article. He was talking about his wife making food diaries and was saying about Eggs.

    Team Benn saying they've never mentioned eggs is just a flat lie.

    It was the same time as this article, he does mention researching egg contamination here.

    I would be staggered if you walk in and get told "Today you are testing Conor Benns samples". The people in the labs would just be testing "Sample DR-102345-PB".

    If the testers knew who each sample belong to, the confidentiality issues would be through the roof.

    Is it that implausible that a member of VADA walked into the Vegas lab one day and said to a lab worker "Do you remember that boxer from the UK in the 90's" "He wasn't that famous here, but he has a son we are testing today" the lab worker could have said "Yeah I think I saw him fight once, sounds like a bell end, I think we should contaminate his sample because I've really got it in for him" " it's totally worth risking my career and the integrity of VADA over"
