What's he trying to prove?
That he never took anything?
He took something by accident?
He ate something contaminated?
He didn't now it was banned?
What's the point?
You failed a test. A drug was in your system.. Get on with it.
Very valid questions ..
There is a lot at stake … not just the career of Conor Benn.
I am wondering whether when things get desperate will the can of worms be opened & other people made accountable.
Other people like his trainer ? Has he ever trained anybody else about whom rumours of PED use have long been discussed ?
I am absolutely convinced that Tony Sims has f*ck all to do with this.
In my life I rarely hold people in such high regard like I do Tony Sims.
I first met Tony over 20+ years ago when I was working on the Lennox/Botha show. Then through working for Hennessy Sports. In addition I spent time talking to Tony concerning all things boxing Whilst staying in hotels working on a wide variety of shows.
I stress I absolutely, unconditionally hold Tony Sims in the highest regard. I do not say that about many people because I am a miserable ****.
Tony Sims although he is Conor Benns trainer has got f*ck all to fo with this mess.

Benn is lying to the media tomorrow.
Let’s go baby! Looking forward to this.
“Contamination”
“Not been suspended”
“Trace amounts”
“Trying for a kid”
“Felix Cash give me a dodgy jaeger”
“Trace amounts”
“fornicate VADA… UKAD are kings”

Seen some interviews. Terrible way to handle this in my opinion. Any casual fans I know are right turned off on him and consider him a total cheat. I don't see this strategy working.

So after all this time, the best they can come up with is “it must be contamination”, despite failing 2 separate tests and apparently not even bothering with the B sample? Brilliant.

Failed the first test and just assumed it was a mistake and moved on pretty much.
How many times has that happened?

That’s what you call bad luck to have taken the same contaminated food / drink 12 weeks apart !

And passed all UKAD tests in the meanwhile?
Something stinks.
In the article they mention that clomifene is used for chickens to lay more eggs.
It would be more believable if he genuinely said he wants to have a kid.

Do we even know how many tests UKAD did?

I want the BBBofC to ban him regardless of the licence situation.
I also want the BBBofC to call Eddie Hearn to answer some questions.
I say again I truly cannot believe what a pathetic weak response this is.
From what Eddie Hearn had said in interviews we were going to be bamboozled with a robust, scientific defence full of credible reasons …
Ban him!!!

I wonder if you would have the same level of energy if it was one of those fighters who allowed you to flourish in your career as a teaboy on fight nights. Haye for example.
