    If a small hall promoter had pulled all this nonsense their license would already be in the bin

    I’ve just been arguing with a total Thalidomide on Facebook about this Benn situation.

    he’s not banned/it was only trace amounts/he can get licensed everywhere he likes etc they are lapping it up. He even claimed Benn may have had it in his system from muffing out his missus.

    I understand MR bias and anti-MR agendas but hobestly how anyone can make a case for his defence when zero evidence has evwn been made public is beyond me. Maybe, just maybe one day the evidence will all come out and something i hadnt considered becomes public knowledge. Ill hold my hands upa nd say fair enough if im wrong but as of right now it all stinks.

    My favourite "Innocent until proven guilty"

    He's pissed dirty twice, he is now guilty until proven innocent

    I've said this enough already, but as someone who has used Clomid for a decade cyclically as part of PCT, you cannot take it by accident or get 'spiked' with it.

    That claim of cross contamination from going down on a partner is what a few athletes in America tried to use. It was rebuffed and then later proven to not be possible in scientific tests.

    Only way you can have clomifene in your body is by taking it be that intentionally or unintentionally via spiking etc.

    Nothing they can say will convince me. They have had 5 months to figure out where it came from. If his Mrs was on those pills then it would have been an instant response after the first test and second so it wouldn't even be an issue now.
    If they are claiming its contaminated test, not once but twice the it's complete and utter bollocks.

    I have not heard those words in years, made me laugh. As married man, I have no recent memories of that so can't comment in any informed manner :)

    And let's not have any "beyond reasonable doubt" malarkey from them, we're not in a criminal court .....


    8.4.1 Proof of doping UKAD will have the burden of establishing that the Athlete or other Person has committed the Anti-Doping Rule Violation(s) charged. To meet that burden, UKAD must establish the Athlete's or other Person's commission of the Anti-Doping Rule Violation(s) to the comfortable satisfaction of the hearing panel, bearing in mind the seriousness of the allegations that are made. This standard of proof in all cases is greater than a mere balance of probability but less than proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

    Not surprised Benn has not been showning any cooperation with UKAD as he passed there tests. Benn and his legal team know for sure UKAD has no jurisdiction over this.

    UKAD also know it's a legal battle they can't win.
