    Well if it’s only used in the US then I can’t see a problem with it as I believe a lot of other US promoters also use this over VADA for less well-known fights as it’s cheaper. It’s like where in Las Vegas you are allowed to stack but not in the UK.

    Observing Yafai standing next to Hearn and Bellew post fight, I can see why some people need Human Growth Hormone

    Eddie Hearn is so hated everywhere in the boxing business that I don't believe Conor Benn will be back in the ring anytime soon.

    I think it hurts Conor Benn's cause that Eddie Hearn is his promoter.

    Did he not get the memo? Just blame eggs & mental elf, then get a promoter to play the perpetual victim act to anyone who will listen

    I don't remember the promoter being questioned on this once.

    Once again misinformation by the MSM about PEDs ....for something as big as this issue now you'd really think 'journalists' would do a basic research into what they are reporting ...

    Why would anyone use a "MUSCLE CUTTING "?... compound ffs? It's quite literally the opposite

    He spoke about it alot, the first he knew was when some South African website put up an article, he had to call the board, UKAD and South African Sport to find out what had happened.

    The reason he wasn't questioned as much is because he said if the B Sample comes back as a fail as well he deserves to be banned.

    He didn't act a complete **** like Hearn did when Benn popped.
