It is disgraceful that people involved were poking charlie at Eubank Sr when a), he is grieving the loss of a son and, b), they knew that Benn had failed a drug test. I've always like Hearn, who is very clear, articulate and has a good sense of humour, but he has not done well hear. Ditto Sauerland.

Sauerland probably has little morals in terms of the situation as he’s undoubtedly dosed to the gills with TRT and probably more for his bodybuilding.

Maybe he tried to tell us all along with this 60% stuff.

I remember vividly myself and Deserter (where are you, mate?) who was working for a cycling mag at the time, or had been in recent times, we were explaining to others and chatting between ourselves about why it was pretty much a cast iron certainty that Lance Armstrong was using PEDS. We got slaughtered at the time from some because it was when he was still a global superstar and hero, it was a decade before his Oprah interview. People believe what they want to believe and objectivity goes out of the window.

My opinion is basically regardless of whether Benn is gulty or not, he is going to get away with it on a technicality. The outrageous technicality being is the BBBofC do not recognise VADA and seemingly want to stick by their guns by only recognising UKAD to which Benn has passed their tests.

One glaring point is I am willing to bet the latest UKAD tests were taken after the VADA thus giving more time for the offending items to pass through the system. Why oh why are people reluctant to be open to giving this information?

I say again Benn is going to get away with this on a technicality.

Certain personalities dont seem to give a fcuk about doing whats right in keeping British Boxings reputation intact.

Where is the B Sample?? What is the delay??

I still think this fight takes place albeit possibly in another country.

Furthermore I also think the BBBofC are going to get sued because of their stance in this. I repeat they do not have the money for a major legal fight.

Mr Hearn repeatedly mentions that “due process” has not been followed and it is on this basis that I think Benn is going to get away with it.

Morally this whole saga leaves an extremely bitter taste and its going to get a whole lot worse …

A word that keeps coming up in my head “morally” … the problem is many people in various positions in boxing do not give a toss about what is right morally

Boxing has NEVER been in a worse position than what it is now.

That's probably the case and pretty eye opening if so.

I suppose there were 4 million reasons why Eubank Jr agreed to it, but it might have been real problematic for him if juiced up Benn took him into the trenches.

Kinda understand why Chris Eubank senior went potty about the fight.
