    I would think a lot more of Benn if he said, "I failed two tests and here's the evidence presented to UKAD on why it wasn't performance-enhancing".

    The unlikeable thing about him is the fury he's generating against the system - the panel may well have found in his favour, why not share the details instead of just saying "cleared"?

    They don’t seem to show the same outrage and emotions towards Tyson Fury either.

    Looking at UKAD's statement I dont read it as him being cleared by them

    Do you?

    To be fair was you reading the board at that point in time?

    Hard to really pass such judgement if your were not present and able to judge the mood

    Tyson gets plenty of stick from neutral fans, it's only fan boys that don't acknowledge his failure

    Fury didn't act as ******ed as Henn is. Henn and Hearnz have brought the sport into disrepute.

    Dana White wouldn't even do something like they did as his company don't want to make MMA seem micky mouse.

    He's not cleared though. This is the silver spoon mob trying to spin things again.

    Good point. But I see people here wishing Benn gets a serious injury and saying they won’t watch Benn fight again. This hasn’t been said about Fury. I appreciate the situations aren’t exactly the same but they are pretty similar.
    Maybe that’s because Fury already payed the farmer off and that was accepted by UKAD / the Board.

    All fighters failing drugs tests should be banned for life in my opinion whether named Fury, Whyte, Benn or anyone else.

    I agree. All these promoters are hypocrites and will do the same thing if one of their big names fails a drug test. The sad thing is that in my opinion all of the top fighters are on some sort of performance enhancing drug.

    Thought you weren't posting on here anymore? Sure that was your exact words. Or was that just "your source" misquoting you again

    Plus his dad actually fought active, decent fighters in his actual weight class.


    Can't even abide Benn's face
