No - he was eating eggs. I watched a video in the lead up the fight on the build up and his nutrionalist was talking about him having higher fat things like he wouldn’t normally have. He was doing him an omelette at the time. I wouldn’t have remembered it but they were showing it cut between Jr eating KFC (surprised he didn’t also test positive as apparently he was having a bucket a day).

Pescatarian’s eat fish but not meat, they can eat eggs though. If eggs is the excuse then I’m not sure how that drug would be present when it isn’t given to U.K. chickens.

If they can show studies that the drug can be present in eggs then I wonder if that is enough to throw doubt over the test though, if you have enough legal money behind you then it may be.

For some reason I read what you put as vegan!

Yep - they’ll need to spend a lot of money to prove that eggs is the cause. If it means he’s cleared then they’ll see it as money well spent.

They'll see it as money well spent if he gets eggsonerated.

If the boxing goes to the sh1t pan Maybe Conor could do some adverts for eggs with Edwina Currie.

[Glass Joe]

must be that one.

[Cas]

Conor is starting to show himself up now and should probably zip it. Im tired of these fighters claiming they are clean after failing a drug test. Are all these tests fake or contaminated then because that’s how it always looks.

Has there even been a British boxer to hold his hand up and admit anything since Larry Olubamiwo, which was now ten years ago?

Lots of professional athletes eat eggs. How many fail tests for clomiphene as a result?

He should have accepted the failed test, serve say a two year ban, and then come back.

I think he'll continue to dig a bigger hole for himself. Those around him in the last couple of years will have a lot to answer for.

How many get accurately tested regularly. Would be interesting to pisstest 10000 random egg eaters and see if any fail, truth is I don’t know.

There’s drug testing and there’s drug testing. The nfl drug tests but 90% of them are juiced to the gills passing. NBA too. Some testing programs are designed to catch as few people as possible. Some are designed to catch as many as possible.

Ps EPL also miss on purpose in my opinion.

[Spud]

I keep saying it I honestly believe there are a lot of twists & turns to come….

Whilst with limited facts we have I can only draw one conclusion … but Team Benn seem super confident of their innocence in this horrible situation.

[margaret thatcher]

team benn look like fish flailing out of water with how theyve responded, wouldnt call their response confident. and why would he drop his license if they think he'll be found innocent and have everything overturned?

I think they are stubbornly sticking to the mantra of repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it ..

Fair points.

I just got a gut feeling.

Does anyone think Benn will relent tell the truth and reveal all resulting in plenty of people being in the

[bripez]

The big issue is not so much the test but more about who knew about it and when.

This is what Simon Jordan was on about.

It looks as though the boxers, promoters, coaches, managers and BBBofC all knew about the failed test for weeks and decided amongst themselves to let the fight go ahead

It was only when the failed test became public at the last minute that the fightvwas stopped.

Makes you wonder if this type of thing has happened before and we don't know about it.

Going by what I've seen from Hearn, and the Benn interviews I think there is a bit of "whataboutry" that they are trying to create by saying that only the Baord could cancel it, etc
I think there strategy is to throw as much stiff out there, other than the actual result and process of taking the tests, and hope that it sticks

[Ruthless-RKO]

Benn said he went to that Dr in August.
