Much discussion on how it’s just traces and there are off-the-shelf drinks that could have this anti-man boob stuff in it. How we’ll be sitting here in 6 weeks after finding out how it was all an honest mistake.

Bunce’s voice raising now to an crescendo. he’s excited about how big the fight will be when it does happen. STADIUM FIGHT in the summer
My god. Again, I didn’t think either of them could sink any lower in my estimation on their punditry
In fairness that could be true. One of my mates drinks loads of energy drinks and he’s got at least a C-cup. It must be the trace amounts of clomiphene they put in them.

What utter fools.

I've got an idea:

Let's do things that professional athletes claim caused them to fail a drugs test, and I will consume precisely the same.

- Benn's wife fertility drugs

- the Wild Boar meat from Tyson Fury

- Canelo's meat

I'm happy to pay the 34k (because if you pay for testing, there is no way you be a cheat).

Anyone else feel sorry for Shannon Courtney having her comeback cancelled because of the show being cancelled ?

id feel most for any of the smaller profile lads that got a big call up to fight on this card

I hope it never does and if found guilty, we never see Benn in the ring again .
The whole thing leaves such a bad taste in the mouth.

I kind of get that. If you’re doping then why pay money to sign up to VADA if you don’t have to?

Either it was Eubank who wanted it in or Benn thought he could beat the system.

Supose were all guesing and making assumptions , but my guess is they have beat the system so many times , now that signing up and paying vada in there minds was an insurance system , in case they failed one , fall back on the other , but like most who do this sort of thing , did'nt think they would be caught .

Regards the second test , i've read its never done till after the fight which if true is bizzare , if it has been done there can only be one reason its not released , and that would be its positive ,

Hopefully some good will come out of this , BBBC will now recognise vada ,, bbbc will get some credibility , and with that credibility use it by giving very very stringent life bans , i think another thing it demonstrates here is lack of power ..the bbbc actually have . OK they have said this cannot go on and have the full support of Joe Public ,, BUT like Lonesey said there actually are section 6 of section 7 rules that have been contraveined so therefore dispite Eddies bluster and bollocks absolutly no grounds to sue them ,, However if they were to Ban the cheating foooker for life ,, ban his coach and others in charge in the gym for 5-10 years and take away Eddies promoters liscence ,, ALL OF WHICH I THINK THEY SHOULD DO , after all does'nt matchroom own the gym which means Eddie owns it , Sims being his main man and relation all stinks to high heaven , anyway if they were to do this they would'nt have pockets deep enough to fight it ,

Whats needed is a complete shake up and unfortunatly it needs some govt intervention to actually make tthe bbbc more powerful , this though takes you down a tricky road .

But theres hopefully others like insurance companys who could now just refuse to insure Benn or anything associated with Benn , its all a big ask and its just hopeful , but you have to start somewhere ,, I know if i was CEO of the insurance company involved , i would forsake the payments they made and get a couple million bucks of free publicity by publicly condoning drug cheats in sport and refusing to insure , i just hope the backlash from this is big enough to get the ball rolling .

In the meantime i from a personal level feel vindicated for never ever liking Benn anyway , , the improvement in his physic his speed , power in such a small time has always suggested this shite now its proven , yet still claimes he's innocent , just waiting for his father pastor rip rap to come out and say , no its not steroid use he's just naturally gifted like me , and someone dropped it in his drink .

The arrogance of the little spoon fed twerp absolutly baffles me

Cash isn’t ranked in the top 15 of the WBC yet he is with the other 3. Only one requires signing up to VADA…

Isn't it crazy that a guy is caught taking an obscure drug that is taken in conjunction or afterwards with who knows what otther PEDs and isn't being banned?
Just reschedule the fight, nothing to see here, he just accidentally ingested it, could have even absorbed it on his c*ck after f*cking a chicken dosed with it.

This fight was just weird from the start, I would have happily tuned in on the radio but I'm not gutted it is off.

Bring on Shields v Marshall next weekend I say.

Hope they're not both using the same doctor as Benn otherwise the fight will be called off with them both expecting triplets.

He needed the WBC ranking so had to sign up for Vada, put it off as long as he could but simply mistimed it and got caught. Folk saying let's see the B sample, even though it's the same piss taken at the same time ffs. He's a cheating bastard. Even with the weight drain, Eubank would have ironed him out.

Chris van Heerdan says he didnt get tested at all befor his fight with connor, So connor likely didnt either. said there was one piss test after. Benn could of been cycling like lance all build up.

Really feel for Van heerden here. has to question Benns cleaness for that fight (and about 10 others), And the style of his defeat basicaly retired him. A better showing (even as a loss) could of resulted in a few more little pay days.

Hopefully this puts the last of the hearn fans off him. He's a slimy promoter, no different to the rest of them.

The irony is that this fight is being talked about more than it ever was. Still a shit fight.
