Chris Eubank Jr’s team were not informed about Conor Benn’s first positive drugs test when he signed for their fight. Both positive tests were handled by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency, but Eubank’s team were only informed of the September test. The positive test from July is understood to have been undertaken as part of the WBC’s Clean Boxing Program. VADA handles the Clean Boxing Program's testing protocol for the sanctioning body. Because Benn's July test was not within Eubank’s contractual period with VADA for the October fight, the drug testing agency did not inform Eubank’s team. It is not clear when Eubank and his handlers were made aware of the first positive test, but it is understood that they still have not been given the full details.
