Last week, British welterweight Conor Benn (21-0, 14 KOs) was caught on a banned drug. clomiphenethereby disrupting the multi-million dollar fight with fellow middleweight Chris Eubank Jr. (32-2, 23 KOs).
Rumor has it that Benn faces a 4-year suspension – it will be very difficult to explain how the drug for the treatment of female infertility got into the athlete’s body. But, as it turned out later, this is only the beginning of a grandiose doping scandal in Britain.
Firstly,
Daily Mail claims it was not Benn’s first positive test for clomiphene. Inside confirm promoter Frank Warren of queensberry promotions and another “person from the world of boxing who wished to remain anonymous.”
Secondly, serious questions have arisen for all British organizations responsible for effective testing procedures for athletes, because a prohibited drug in Benn’s body was found on the local British Anti-Doping Association (UKAD)and a private organization WADA.
Failed show promoter Eddie Hearn (Matchroom Boxing) did not tell about the cancellation of the show, but about its transfer. Now he asks to wait for the results of the investigation. Daily Mail suggests that the fight may even be moved to Saudi Arabia.
Jarrell Miller, an American heavyweight, also pulled out a duel with Hearn fighter Anthony Joshua due to doping. Big guy comment: “Eddie does this all the time. If it concerns his fighters, then he pretends that nothing happened. And if not his fighters are caught, then he immediately opens his e*lo. Everyone knows that Hearn is a hypocrite.”
Benn had previously knocked out ring veterans Chris Van Heerden of South Africa and Chris Elgieri of the United States.
The African wonders, “what if this guy was doped in that fight? Even during the fight, I felt that I had never met such power before. I also thought, where the fuck from?
Algieri says he was warned before the fight that Benn was a dirty athlete. According to the American, “there were no doping tests on the eve of the fight.”
What do you think about what to do with Benn? And here is the opinion of the “expert” Fury. Earlier, Eubank said that he would pay for the removal of a tattoo from the belly of an unfortunate fan of Conor: there is a photo.
