    Eggie Hearn stated he is innocent and so did Tony Bellew - the drug test results are minor detail in the debate according to both.

    With how long Clomid can stay in your system isn't that the easiest to explain? It could come from one instance of consuming a "contaminated" drink/whatevs.

    That doesn't explain why they hid the results of the first failed test

    I can't answer questions you didn't ask !!!
    Think we could all make a fairly good guess why though ....

    Gareth Davies said he believe the defence is "Contamination of sample"

    Does that mean in the VADA process? Surely that would be a nonsense for the two seperate tests? Or does he just mean the eggs?

    WBC will give him 6 months backdated, they'll get a load of inflated sanctioning fees, Benn won't reapply for a BBBOC license and Benn will be the face of Matchroom middle east.

    Plenty of drugged up Essex lads out there to support him

    Contradicted by his later "Those contaminants, whatever they are, were found in his body"
    Is it him not giving himself enough time to make sure the words he uses are clear and unambiguous?

    Also said "Did EH know in July that he'd failed a test" .... err first test was July 25 and the result around "end of August"ish .... b*ll*cks again .......unless ..... there's an even earlier one :eek:

    Ahh so he was tripping over himself then.

    I still think the last bit of my post will be correct

    I suppose .... because they've got 2 tests .... it's given them an angle for them to compare the figures of the 2 tests and assert stuff like "our expert says ( in exchange for large fee ) if the level of stuff_A in the 1st test was X, but in 2nd test was Y, how can this be true? This proves both tests are unreliable. Our case is proven and Mr Benn is as clean as a very bleached whistle".

    I thought the same as you re getting a new licence abroad, but a bit less confident now. I don't know the rules/process. Have any other boxers done it? If not, why not if it was that easy? Depends on how much money is available and where they think it's best thrown I guess.

    However Mr Benn previously said "I won’t fight until this is resolved, with a foreign licence or not.", so that's that confirmed :)

    There's so much sh*t being flung around from the Benn team, and morsels being repeated by journalists accurately or not, in the hope something sticks somewhere. Think I'm just gonna park this stuff now until something official surfaces.

    Saw a clip on twitter where spencer Oliver is talking about how someone from team benn cornered him at a show and gave it to him.

    I can see them turning a lot of people against benn. Spoilt brat of a child.

    I love this talk of a "270" page document they've submitted. Like this number is something to boast about, because the more pages the stronger his argument. I bet it can really be summarised in one paragraph if you took out all the BS

    Four words in that one paragraph is all the reader needs 'Two Failed Drugs Tests'

    IF they can prove the tests to be unreliable then they have a case.

    Not sure how 'it was some dodgy eggs' can be spread out over 270 pages but there we go. Maybe a few self righteous statements and character testimonies from Tony Bellew in capitals and large font to bulk it out a bit.

    They don't just detect drugs for a laugh.
