Sadly I don't think this is idiocy, but calculated ignorance. He will know damn well that the reason for a male boxer taking Clomifene has nothing to do with enhancing fertility, just as Conor Benn (I'm 26 years old Piers) knew damn well that the reason for taking it wasn't to boost testosterone, but to restore the body's natural production of it following a ped cycle. These utterances look coached and prepared. Bellew is just one more hired gun in a cynical attempt at managing this story. He can gtf with the rest of 'em.
I haven't, and won't, watch that Bellew interview but does he say why he believes the Clomifene was in his system or did he just say that Tony Sims, Benn etc are good people etc and wouldn't do that sort of thing? I guarantee at some point he also says he 'doesn't do social media'.
Good lord! Shut up man, you are embarrassing Referencing Junior (crap attempt at humour) when he clearly knows why a cheating athlete would use and what's to gain
The nerve of Eddie and his teaboy to have the audacity to accuse the board of acting with ego. In what world other than boxing would this kind of attitude towards the governing body of the sport in the UK, be tolerated? Just think about it. These cuunts started off with sending cease and desist letters, refused to cooperate with them, withheld info, now they're sounding out other commissions around the world and then they're still attacking the board for letting those other commissions know that Conor hasn't been cleared yet. Eddie should be pulled up on this narrative he's spinning. The board are acting with ego How the fack are they acting with ego. They keep getting bummed by your million dollar legal team every which way. I believe in him. Who give a fack if you believe in him Eggie. You're not the bleeding board. No one gives a fack if you believe in the rat. Hes failed two tests, he needs to either prove how it got into his body or take a ban. Not get character statements from his money hungry leech of a promotor. Conor is acting with ego Yes the cuunt is using his fake pretend anger at the board to distract from the actual issue which is he failed two tests on two separate occasions. His whole crocodile tears, mental health breakdown on Piers Morgan was just one big diversion tactic. They all need to sit down and sort it out No, Con the rat needs to be pulled into the boards office by his rat ears and take his medicine, the stupid little drug taking rat. He won't get a fair hearing now. He doesn't deserve a fair hearing, he deserves the maximum penalty he can get. Rio Ferdinand, once missed a drugs test and he got an 8 month ban yet Con Bent, has taken the tests, failed them and is trying to fool everyone with this "The board can do one, they've got it in for me" shtick, which Eddie is also trying to push now. How Matchroom can lay into the board in every single interview now, it's beyond shameful. How boxing can have a pathetic spineless board, I won't ever understand either. I've never seen anything like it in sport. They should be disciplining Eggie and Con Bent for the way they've behaved.
The other thing with Bellew is, who actually enjoys listening to him? I barely ever see a positive comment about him on any interviews. From a PR point of view, I don’t understand why Matchroom would use him. At least Hearn is articulate and intelligent enough to actually debate properly - Bellew makes a fool of himself every single time without fail. I can’t actually think of anyone within the sport who’s opinion I’d take less seriously - I’d genuinely rather hear Chisora or John Fury talk about it.
You've missed the part where Rio actually got to present his case and the case was heard by an independent tribunal. There was no ban dished out without due process. Why could Dillian Whyte get a hearing in the matter of days before a fight, (the hearing actually took place the day of the fight), yet the BBoC had test results for 5 weeks and couldnt have a hearing?
I have just heard that Matchroom tonight (before the main event) maybe will be announcing Conor Benn's comeback fight out in Dubai in June.
Irrelevant as at the hearing, the allegations of misconduct against Benn were upheld. This was announced by the British Boxing Board of Control. Now if you believe he didn't renew his licence to avoid a hearing regarding the tests what was the alleged cease and desist for? Was it the alleged cease and desist which stopped a hearing regarding the tests or was it non renewal of the licence. Which one is it?
I wouldn't excuse it once and then decide if it happened again start complaining. You have a governing body that wants to to stop Benn fighting elsewhere yet in 2018 BJS Saunders was in November suspended by the WBO for six months, but before the year was up he was fighting on British soil, on the undercard of Josh Warrington's stunning win over Carl Frampton, an event licenced by the British Boxing Board of Control. The Board's General Secretary, Robert Smith, then came out in support of Saunders, while calling for more consistency between the doping agencies. So yes excuse me for not taking the BBoC seriously when it comes to anti doping when a fighter was banned for doping they didn't care one iota.
Hearn always point to the BJS thing too but we all know why he couldn't be banned by the British board. Hearn does and his parrots like yourself do. Had Connor not given up his licence maybe the board would have allowed him to fight again but he didnt want a hearing, wonder why that is?
