We like to think they wont do it because of how tough they are, so why would they cheat? You are talking about some of the most competitive people alive with mills at stake. Thats why.
Took 11 months just to have a hearing. Not justifying the Benn case but if we are saying it takes 11 months just to have a UKAD hearing then appeals process etc etc. You are looking at a minimum of 2 years. If you cant box in that period is it any wonder Benn has avoided going down the route of having a UKAD hearing.
Agreed. I believe, at the top level, they all use them to an extent. I don’t believe Fury shed 9 stone in 6 months just by working out with Ben Davidson and I don’t believe Joshua is clean either.
The people who forked out Box Office for this were mugged at the time and must feel double mugged this morning.
This is the thing with the Benn case. I'm not even bothered about the fact he takes PED's, they are all at it. It's the way he's conducted himself afterwards as it shows him to be a horrible scumbag.
Shaking hands.....I didn't think someone could come up with a worse excuse than eggs but Khan has done it. Excuse CV analysis updates 4. Mexican meat 3. Wild boar 2. Eggs 1. Handshake
That may explain why Khan was able to take a lot more shots that usual. His chin didn't seem made of glass against Brook
That's exactly how I feel about it. The way Benn has been so arrogant and tried to bully the BBBofC with his lawyers has been disgraceful. If he had held his hands up and said he didn't know how the PED got in his body but accepts whatever punishment... most people would have forgotten about it by now
it’s a code of silence. boxers (or athletes in general) very rarely speak out about their opponents using PEDs because they use them themselves, their friends/teammates do, or they want to have the opportunity to use them in the future. note how Eubz was oddly subdued in his criticism of Connor Benn, and you can bet Kell will be too
This will give Benn even more ammo to discredit the process, ukad and BBBofC. And to be fair. Who can blame him now? He's off scot free now.
