    I could accept that for 1 test but not 2. You're right though, my mind won't be changed.

    I could have sworn he failed 2 tests about 5 weeks apart.

    Remember when the egg thing first came out and we were all scrambling to find the best pun? Feels like a lifetime ago and this matter still isn't closed

    Get with the times! That's so yesterday's laughable excuse, I know its hard to keep up with this real life soap opera designed for societies uneducated to swallow but their is a new laughable excuse in town this week.

    Have a quick read up - a warning though, don't be drinking a cup of tea whilst reading it, you will end up spitting it out laughing when you see this weeks 'gem'

    Lads, we've dug in together to expose this corruption. It's been emotional.

    I pray we get the right outcome this week and justice is served on that twat Benn.

    My base case scenario is that it's a 2 year ban backdated to march when he got charged

    Benn cannot get away with anything less than a 2 year ban backdated, otherwise it will throw the testing process into absolute chaos.

    Starting to wonder if the UKAD defence is "if you tell us the tests are invalid, tell us how to do valid ones" and suspended until it's decided one way or another. If UKAD can afford to drag it on a bit longer, that is.

    His advisers surely can't expect to turn up and rubbish years of WADA-standard testing without it being looked into, beyond one individual's hearing?

    Which means he's got another 21 months to go hopefully? By that time he'll be irrelevant and ruined his chances of making the PPV money he so desperately wants.

    After this past year's legal and "science" bills it's probably more of a need than a want. Which means it'll likely happen under any available jurisdiction.
