Conor Benn - What Next?

[tonyevs]

I only get close to 30 eggs a week at Easter

Very good


It will be interesting to see if the Board roll over now.

I think there is no coming back for Conor now. Whilst Eddie may promote him again, I feel the fans won't be there.
He will be a toxic brand from here on.

Given he was found innocent, that means the only reason this ever came out is a leak... so how many people have tested positive and been found innocent with simarly dodgy excuses.... scary thought, any of your favorite boxers may have tested positive and got away with it without the public ever knowing.

I'd say most of the top level fighters are on the gear, he just got busted, twice.

Why?

As much as I believe that there's a hell of a lot more on the gear than not, you can't judge them all without there being any actual evidence. He's the one found to have done it whereas others haven't which definitely makes him worse because it's conclusive but it's pure speculation for others.

The WBC found that: (1) there was no conclusive evidence that Mr. Benn engaged in intentional or knowing ingestion of Clomiphene; (2) there were no failures in the procedures related to sample collection, sample analysis, or violations of Mr. Benn’s B Sample rights that would justify questioning or invalidating the Adverse Finding; and (3) Mr. Benn’s documented and highly-elevated consumption of eggs during the times relevant to the sample collection, raised a reasonable explanation for the Adverse Finding.

He still has his loyal fans. The idiots we are on twitter day in and day out.

Becuase I think most sports are the same, and I guess the attitude becomes, well if my competitors are in it I may as well be.

I agree

I think the reaction of Spence Oliver and many other ex fighters was so convincing, that they must think PEDs are not as widespread as some are suggestion.

I will easily eat 14 eggs a week.

My cousin was eating a tray of 24 a day when he was doing powerlifting etc. He'd boil them, eat 12 but just the egg whites and bin the yolks. Then he'd push 2-3 in his mouth with protein shakes and other meals during the day. It was nauseating just watching him eat so many....

...also the smell from his arse in the gym afterwards would make a maggot gag. He used to drop his rancid guts on his training partner when they were bench pressing and his partner couldn't escape as trapped under the bar.

Matchroom are a laughing stock.

100% correct. Anyone who thinks they aren’t all on it is naive.

[Rockytony67]

[Ruthless-RKO]

He's now calling out to Algieri and van Heerden..

Said, they both didn't last 6 rounds between them and talking shit

Said he'll rematch them both and test weekly and they both wont last 2 rounds.

Well I think a term you never really hear in boxing is biological passport. My understanding is that in for example international athletics, the athletes effectively have their levels of various hormones and such like monitored and recorded regularly. So even if you aren’t going over legal limits of say testosterone levels, but they’ve mysterious say gone up from the mid-normal range to sit at the high-end, or something like that, there would be the equivalent of a ‘please explain’ query for the athlete to deal with - and it better be a lot better explanation than I ate a lot of fricking eggs that week! They actively try to stop people playing the system for an edge. There’s just nothing like a biological passport system in boxing.

That’s me done with Matchroom, I’ll never watch a show of theirs again. They’re an absolute laughing stock.

Were you OK with Fury after he failed tests and blamed a boar?

[blanca]

He's such an entitled little prike. Fight someone your own age and weight yer massive fake bearded hampton.

[handsofstone]

34 eggs a week isn't that much, not saying hes telling truth but where did the 60 a day come from?

[Monzon83]

He's making himself very easy to despise isn't he?

Maybe that's the plan now, make him the fighter people will pay to see lose.

No idea. Asked the same question so I’d imagine it’s made up and people have run with it as fact.

[polecateddy]

Daily Mail sounds skeptical and finds more diet plan outlined by Benn not including too many eggs. Does remind us UKAD sees offences as strict liability. It’s the responsibility of the athlete what they put in their mouth. It’s got to be a ban coming up - do we think its a year? Two years would properly send a message!

…he does not look ‘natty’ in those pictures!
