All this announcement means is the WBC have cleared him. They are a sanctioning body NOT a governing body. The same sanctioning body that said the winner of Paul Vs Fury will get a WBC world ranking. It just makes the situation more of a farce in my opinion.gregregegg wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 04:29 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.

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
being able to box in the uk is the biggest thing he needs to get back, a wbc ranking only means so much when you aren't going near their champ

One of the UK’s last remaining boxing journalists just sounds like an empty vessel, no real insight, commentary or depth of understanding;

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
If he is going it natural now after having those strength/power/recovery gains of being on ‘cycles,’ he’s only probably got one big fight in him before people work out he’s a much diminished fighter. I’d say his career is effectively over now.
Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
He could use every ped in the darklab and Spence still beats him with ease.
Do we reckon be will have to be clean now? That version gets a drubbing from anyone near the Top 10. Or will staying in the Middle East mean he can get egged off his tits?

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
Only two questions need asking:-
1. Why did you go down the route of ‘clearing your name’ with the WBC and not the Board of Control (who you were licensed with).
2. Why did you conceal the result of two tests (that you hadn’t appealed before)

It’s hard to get that early fight against (was it) a French journeyman? Had to get off the canvas a few times and looked about Central Area level.

Paynard. Who dropped him and on my card- beat him.polecateddy wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 14:05It’s hard to get that early fight against (was it) a French journeyman? Had to get off the canvas a few times and looked about Central Area level.
Connor did take the rematch later on, I credited him for that at the time. But given this new cheating information and his changed physique between the bouts, f*ck him!
Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
He was up and down like a yoyo from the canvas in that fight then suddenly he's become this destroyer ? I don't think 60 eggs could do that much for youKiwiRider wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 14:09Paynard.

Surely there is a 3rd question, which is:Frostieballs wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 14:04 Only two questions need asking:-

3. Clomiphene isn't in the UK food chain so how did it show up through consumption of eggs in the UK?

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
It’s sad in a way that more journalists aren’t running with that rather than just more or less printing the press release. Gareth Davies didn’t even raise it as a thought in his head. What the hell do the WBC know about the British food chain?Deserter wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 14:19Surely there is a 3rd question, which is:Frostieballs wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 14:04 Only two questions need asking:-
