    Yep, it is the same process they've followed all through this process. I still remember when he released the statement confirming his innocence back in December.

    This is just media manipulation, but all the headlines have gone with him being cleared, when clearly UKAD haven't.

    The Board statement certainly doesn't read like he's an innocent man.

    A fair post

    I personally was not here then so couldn't judge and really didn't think of looking back but i kind of imagined it would be nowhere near as bad as the Benn saga as you've confirmed

    My guess is its a multitude of things that have lead to this level of hate/anger

    :Fans finally having enough of the lies that come out about drug use
    :Benn being a quite unlikeable person(subjective i know)
    :The conduct of all involved in this sorry mess
    :The fact its pretty much been played out in front of our very eyes
    :Narratives changing weekly
    :Benn's cry baby/self entitled attitude

    Both cases absolutely should be viewed the same but its like the say out of sight, out of mind and Fury's case was very much out of sight to the pubic for the most part

    I think the idea that the forum got it wrong regarding Fury so should get it wrong again regarding Benn is not a sensible one. There is a presumption that the person being treated more harshly is the one who is being treated wrongly, but that isn't always the case.

    There is also the fact that Fury was godlike as a fighter when he was caught and Benn was a silver-spoon nobody. There is an element of three strikes - Fury was an underdog and outsider who made good, Benn had every imaginable promotional advantage and was still caught cheating.

    But he still went through the process ya'll wanted him too.

    We will see if UKAD appeal but considering nobody here knows why the NADP came to there decision there is a whole of of speculation.

    Lol. Ufc allows fighters to dope as long as they have a prescription.

    Also jon Jones is still fighting in the ufc after numerous failed drug tests.

    Is that Micky Mouse?

    There is that and also we just want cheaters to be punished now.

    People looked the other a bit with Fury
    Then they made excuses for Whyte and played the system.
    Unfortunately for Benn he is the straw that broke the camels back. Fans are just getting sick of the corruption in boxing.

    Did he?

    There was some talk that his lawyers were going to try and argue a jurisdictional technicality so that he didn't have to have the tests considered. Not that we know anything as yet other than the UKAD statement.

    Excuse me but Campbell 'Hurricane' Hatton is 12-0 at just 22 years old with a massive loyal following already. Unlike the scummy Benns & Furys of the world he's ALL NATURAL and even more talented and handsome than his legendary father. A lifelong supporter of Manchester City FC, Campbell is very popular in his local community and also enjoys a good night out with the lads on occasion. He's got the world at his feet, so please stfu :beer-toast1:.

    He is ****ing insufferable. Watched clips from his Matchroom interview and he is talking about josh Taylor and Brook being warm up fights. He is an absloute ****ing plank.

    I don't know how anyone can like him? He is flash, spoilt, protected and arrogant.

    Completely off topic but why do you say "Ya'll"?

    I've never seen a British person do so and am curious
