    It's OK, there's a 270 page document that is about to clear everything up so we won't need to discuss anymore.

    Has there been anything new in the last year? I just remember he ate too many eggs and then he was taking some kind of female fertility drug or something like that so he could get preggers.

    I’m not going to read 500 pages of stuff. I googled it and there’s nothing in the last year, which means nothing that people covering the sport reported on in a big way.

    Someone said whatever on a podcast about a failed drug test two years ago might generate posts but it’s not ‘something happening’ lol.

    Do you think we can keep this going for five years? Ten? Twenty? More discussion on this one topic in the past two years than anything else in boxing, haha. Really?

    Jeez you’re right. It has been at or near the top for two years, but if not for me making a few posts today it would have surely fallen into the deep archives, lol.

    Short answer is not a huge amount of actual news in the past year. The thread has mostly been jokes at Benn's expense unsurprisingly, only to be expected when Benn made the "do one" comments at the outset.

    There's all sorts of unsubstantiated rumours that he's serving a silent ban, that he's about to meet the Board, that he'll be cleared to fight in the UK by the spring. But nothing official.

    Anyone found guilty of taking PEDs in professional sport should be banned for life - no excuses.

    We all know there is going to be a ban backdated to the date of failed drugs test.

    The silence is deafening.

    Benn has arrived in Saudi and has tried to make it all about him.

    Behaving like an absloute wally. All false tough man talk.

    I thought it was interesting how he behaved with the IFL interviewer at the end of the clip. That shows you what sort of bloke he is....that spiteful, weak bullying and rude behaviour.
