    I'm not the biggest fan of this fight still going on. I know there's a ton of money involved and both camps have trained hard, but there has to be consequences for **** like this.

    He's a gobby little tw*t, so I'm glad he was caught cheating

    He'll go down the same road as Tyson Fury and Canelo's "accident" and say it was in contaminated supplements or he ate food from an untested source.

    No wonder he's been crushing it in the gym and he did a better job on Formella than Shawn Porter and Samuel Vargas got banged out in a round

    Agreed
    No other reason to use this except to get the natural test back flowing and avoid mama breast

    Looks like they're gonna do the old "untested B sample" trick.

    Looks like he was using it to help in moving up in weight, though. Why else would a fighter use muscle gaining PEDs. Although it should be said, it specifically isn't a steroid, but it is performance enhancing.

    Yep no wonder he has improved from the bum he was at the beginning of his career

    Is Clomifene on its own a PED? I thought it was used to kick start testosterone after somebody had been using testosterone boosters.

    It's still a banned substance so it doesn't really matter why

    Getting popped for PEDs when you've recently moved up in weight and have bulked up isn't a good look

    He couldn't afford the same scientists that are a part of AJs team

    An athlete would only ever take it after a PED cycle. There's no other reason to take it and it can't be a contaminate from a training supplement.

    Banged to rights a drugs cheat...

    Maybe Benn thought he was too manly for eubank so decided to even the playing field by using titty medication :lol:

    Very disappointing. If he wins, that win will always have a question mark next to it.

    Eubank Jr is going to have less fluid around the brain due to the cut and rehydration clause anyway, Benn has willingly and knowingly gone that step further to inflict maximum long lasting damage without a care in the world for his opponent. Disgrace.

    I was rooting for Benn as Nigel was my favourite of the seniors, but at this point im questioning if Conor’s previous wins are even legit.

    I hope that B sample doesn’t magically disappear

    Love how Hearn signs off a statement which refers to 'trace amounts' like having a small amount of a banned substance is somehow okay. And it's called a 'fertility drug' as if that explains it away too. What, training for a fight AND trying to get pregnant? That's original, bulking up to 157 with baby weight... :lol:
