Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
UKAD rules say strict liability so 2 year ban for Benn at least , no excuses can see that's why they are appealing.

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
That’s not quite accurate. Dillian Whyte failed a UKAD test but got off and fighters have failed a UKAD test and had much shorter bans (Enzo Maccarinelli as an example).Floydendizer wrote: ↑25 Sep 2023, 13:27 UKAD rules say strict liability so 2 year ban for Benn at least , no excuses can see that's why they are appealing.

This whole saga takes the p*ss out of boxing, and the problem is it’s going to get worse.

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
A Kenyan marathon runner, Titus Ekiru, who twice tested positive, has received a 10 year ban.
No the circumstances aren't identical to Benn's but it demonstrates that some sports are serious about suitably penalizing drug cheats.

Careful now, you don't want to upset the oversensitive Fury fan bois. I had one obsessively follow me around on here the other week as if I were Eddie Hearn!

It’s interesting with Miller now he might be trying to avoid any further bans, just how god damn ordinary he looks. Some genetic elites will always respond better to the sauce than others.

I did quite admire how he managed to use massive dosages of HGH yet still resemble a blob, you really do need to live terribly to be that lardy on more than 4ius of HGH a day.polecateddy wrote: ↑19 Oct 2023, 16:00 It’s interesting with Miller now he might be trying to avoid any further bans, just how god damn ordinary he looks.

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
I know guys that shove a load of gear in and still look like shit. Diet and genetics play a huge part. Plus it depends how you train, if your main focus is strength you won’t look like a bodybuilder.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑19 Oct 2023, 16:26I did quite admire how he managed to use massive dosages of HGH yet still resemble a blob, you really do need to live terribly to be that lardy on more than 4ius of HGH a day.polecateddy wrote: ↑19 Oct 2023, 16:00 It’s interesting with Miller now he might be trying to avoid any further bans, just how god damn ordinary he looks.

Miller should look better though given he’s a boxer which is a cardio based sport. I suspect he trains like a lazy slob, eats shit and bangs in the gear trying to make up for that which won’t prevent him looking like marshmallow.

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
In answering the thread title I a mega anti drugs.
What frustrates me immensely is how those with money can use the law to silence those caught cheating.
I am totally convinced a LOT of people have been caught in the past but injunctions have prevented revealations in the press.

Browne's got a decent enough dig, but his punches were just bouncing (no pun intended) off of Miller.

What a horrible waste of talent.
People could have looked after him, including me and for that I am sorry
Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
I know it's different jurisdictions but a Cameron gets caught with a party drug in trace amounts, massive ban and they try to destroy him, canelo gets caught cheating with a ped, 6 months because everyone is getting rich from himSpud wrote: ↑20 Oct 2023, 08:39be

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
I do too mate. I was always a poor dieter, even when I did weight class strongman, but even I never had the sausageness of Miller, and I was quite sausage-esque. He really must eat cheeseburgers alll day. Might as well go full Butterbean and just be superfat and leave the PEDS, probably healthier. Ironically Esch is loads healthier these days.Monzon83 wrote: ↑19 Oct 2023, 17:53I know guys that shove a load of gear in and still look like shit. Diet and genetics play a huge part.

me too. He comes across well in interviews too, I'd be so bitter at the injustice of it all my eyes would bleed. I hope he does well and earns some money and achieves whatever he can do and wants.Spud wrote: ↑20 Oct 2023, 13:21Absolutely

Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
Hearn still all over the place on Conor Benn's next fight.
In the one breath he says Benn-Eubank "will happen in January in the UK."
But in the next breath it is :
"Conor Benn is not suspended and we will apply to the British Boxing Board of Control for sanctioning.
"It's up to them whether they sanction it or not.
"He's not suspended, legally, and we don't see how he can't be sanctioned to fight.
:roll:
