Benn fails drug test

That's about the 3rd or 4th post he has made saying this

Shows you his ethics really

 

Wasn't it this week that Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn would be announced ?

 

They'll announce Ryder vs Munguia first and hope nobody notices the other one gets delayed again...

 

I find it hilarious that Hearn has questioned why Benn is treated differently to others and thinks there is an agenda against him. How many other fighters with a failed test have publicly torn up their licence and told the board to "do one" because "they've got it in for them"? How many spend a fortune on legal threats against the board, refuse a hearing and go on Piers Morgan?
Every high profile Fighter has kept out of the spotlight, licked their wounds and waited for the public to forget about them. Throwing your weight around and attacking the board with everything you've got is such a poor strategy.

 

They said the fight would be February but not sure they stipulated what year.

 

This is the bit I don't get - Hearn is clearly a smart man so why on earth can't he read the room on this one! It's clear as day that 99% of people aren't buying the spin this time and every comment from him, Benn or tea boy are just fanning the flames and making the public perception even worse.

Perhaps they have just surrounded themselves with yes men like ifl/boxing social so long they got used to never being challenged on anything and just think they can talk everyone into believing them.

 

For a while his plan appeared to be to turn public opinion against the BBBofC but this seems to have failed.

The way things stand, Hearn would be best advised to let things go quiet until the appeal is heard next year. But he is also of the thinking that there is no such thing as bad advertising. So he will probably continue to sensationalize this thing for all it's worth.

 

One look at comments sections on videos about Benn show what the casuals understand. Most of them wouldn't know who the BBBoC are, it's just "a media conspiracy" against Benn and he deserves the Eubank fight, etc etc.

 

That's the barrow Hearn has been relentlessly pushing.

 

What Spin? Did Connor Benn face a hearing with Ukad adjudicated by the choise Ukad took in the NADP? No spin just facts.

Did Benn get cleared by the NADP and in turn Ukad then lifted his suspension? Yes that did happen so where is the spin? It's just facts.

Is there an appeal still to be heard? Yes there is. Has Benn had his suspension put back in place until the appeal is heard meaning he isn't free to box? No that has not happend so I ask again where exactly is the spin?

I find it quite laughable that everyone wanted Benn to face a hearing with Ukad. He did just that yet because the result wasn't what people wanted those same people are the ones who are putting out Spin.

Claims of Benn hasnt gone through the correct process to clear his name is just not true.

One may like the fact that Benn had his suspension lifted due the NADP ruling but that doesn't mean one should act as if that hearing never actually took place.

The NADP are independent from all parties and can only rule within the parimiters of whatever the rules and stipulations are when a case like this comes under there remit. That's a lot better than using public opinion to determine the result.

Yet I assume one the appeal is heard and Benn wins the same thing will be said about Benn not clearing his name due to all the predictions of Benn never facing a hearing with Ukad were wrong let alone him actually winning.

All this yet those people have not once said

• They disagree with the NADP ruling.
• They disagree with ukad making the decision to left Benn suspension.

I think this would be down to not being able to actually articulate why those decisions were made so instead just make up things as they can't just accept they got it wrong. If they were to criticise the NADP ruling they would then look even more foolish as the hearing is all they kept banging on about as that was supposed to be the correct process, other than when the result isn't what one wanted and these people need to think of something else to keep Benn out of the ring.

Spencer Oliver is by far the worst. He just makes up stuff.

Why should they wait until the appeal is heard? They do not make the rules. Matchroom didn't lift Benns suspension, Ukad did.

If a fighter isn't suspended why shouldn't he be fighting? It seems absolutely absurd to think the position should be - suspension lifted but as there is an appeal pending (no exact date) a fighter remains being punished even though they won the hearing.

There is no trying to turn public opinion against the Bboc. The matter is simply a case between the Bboc vs Connor Benn and the Bboc lost. That isn't speculation or lies, that is factually what the record says hence the suspension being lifted after Benn went into the same hearing that the Bboc kept telling us he had to go through.

It wasn't matchroom or Connor Benn who said he must face Ukad and the Bboc. Everyone's else wanted that and they got the hearing and Benn won.

No amount of nonsense coming from Robert Smith changes that. Now they may not like whatever defense Benns team put up to get the decision but it's completely irrelevant. Whatever it was, the NADP clearly thought it held weight but somehow this isn't good enough. Nobody has actually seen the NADP report to pass judgement yet they are doing exactly that when claiming Benn hasn't proved his innocence.

Benn proved to the NADP that he should no longer be suspended and thats what matters. Making sure Robert Smith, Johnny Nelson, Spencer Oliver, Simon Jordan, Gareth Davies and a small number of fans are satisfied with the defense thankfully isn't a requirement for the NADP to rule in a fighters favour.

The audacity of some of these characters is remarkable. They wanted the hearing but can't accept the result of the hearing so ignore the result and then try and tell the public that Connor Benn has not gone through the process to clear his name.

I've heard Johnny Nelson actually say Benn should just face the Bboc and take the ban.

So Johnny you just want us to all ignore the hearing and what the NADP ruled, just because you don't understand how this process actually works.

I wish the YouTube media would actually address the misinformation these characters keep spouting.

 

The BBBofC, via Robert Smith, has confirmed they have received an application to sanction Benn-Eubank and denied that application. End of story for now.

 

Hi Eddie

 

Is this the 270 page document?

 

Few mistakes in that Liger.

UKAD charged Benn which began the NADP process. Benn has never appeared before a hearing which UKAD adjudicated. He has only had a case hearing with NADP where it was determined that UKAD don't have jurisdiction over non-UKAD tests.

All this nonsense that Benn willingly faced UKAD is baloney. He was charged by UKAD and therefore had to engage with the process to be able to box again in the UK. He hasn't entered this process due to his own goodwill.

Being cleared to box and not being suspended are two different things:

He currently isn't under suspension by UKAD, but he isn't cleared to box in the UK as the board won't give him a license because they don't have transparency on why he failed several tests.

Just out of interest ligger, how do you think Benn come to fail two tests for Clomid?

 

My take on the whole thing is that, unfortunately, most of the time a boxer fails a test, it's genuine. They've taken something. Then depending how much money they have/have access to, they'll lie about it to varying degrees. Sometimes it's as clear as day that they're scrambling around for any bull**** excuse that just might win over a few members of the public. This is one of them scenarios to me. In my opinion, Benn is guilty as sin.
