    True but tbf I genuinely don’t think Eubank spars like other pros do. Reckon he’s just been sparring amateurs at the Brighton & Hove gym. He’s trained himself for this fight so hasn’t taken Benn seriously as an opponent.

    Yeah - that's different to taking bribes to hide test failures though.

    It used to be the case that potential liability from lost litigation had to be covered by a departments budget and wasn't guaranteed by the treasury, so if it was huge then they'd end up being powerless. If the fury situation was more cut and dry then they'd have taken it on I suspect.

    Hence the word apparently

    It honestly wouldn't surprise me one bit if a moral grandstander like Bellew was using PEDs himself during his career. That's what these people are like.

    Don't be surprised if later on in life a lot of these guys "come clean" and say they were on it and start criticising the culture of boxing with everyone knowing everyone is using but everyone lying about it. I'm sure at least one of these guys will feel some guilt or convert to some religion and start doing that.

    If it was from that Dean Whyte interview, he said "there have been multiple negative tests", can only assume they misheard
