    If Benn is a UKAD athlete and he’s participating in sport in Britain under a BBBoC license (of which UKAD are affiliated) surely they have at least a duty of care to investigate findings of a failed drugs test?

    The drug Billy Joe failed for isn’t banned out of competition by UKAD so why would they investigate that? I know it’s another daft technicality but Billy Joe hadn’t broken their rules?

    Hearn is really grating on me as well.

    He keeps referring to the fact there was no hearing with the BBoC, yet has not provided an explanation as to why it was in his system.

    Liam Smith going right in. Does not give a monkeys about the Matchroom Mafia.

    I wonder when Tony Bellend Bellew will break his radio silence, the horrible hypocritical asslicker.

    This is all quite funny in a way, if it didn't have such sad and unfortunate implications for the sport we all love.

    Conor Benn, a boxer with no amateur pedigree or success, who has not had a single notable win, and has never even fought for an English title but is the proud owner of one very dubious beard has ripped up his license and is now openly and publicly at war with the BBBofC.

    All under the careful council of his manager, TOWIE reject Charlie Sims, with fat boy Frank and Eddie Hearn lurking nefariously in the background waiting to pounce and either throw Conor under the bus should he get a long ban, or present him as some sort of victim and get him in the ring ASAP should he be vindicated by some quirk or technicality.

    Thought it was quite neutral and just saying what he knows on the subject.

    I do get the impression he think Benn is batting on a very sticky wicket.

    It's more a lot of people have felt Hearn is a wrongun for a long time.
