By now, Eddie must know even more than he did before the story broke. It doesn't seem like he's cutting ties or distancing himself. He seems confident they have a get out of jail card. Hard to second guess what that could be.

A denial of Conor's "due process" and finger pointing at the board obviously won't cut the mustard. It has to be more, and be about why the test failed.

Presumably Conor, when asked privately, or maybe his team, have got something they think will exonerate him.

It's very interesting that the board remain silent after their initial statement. You'd expect them to grandstand. Are they in some way compromised?

When this whole thing broke Eddie referred to "medical information" being shared with team Eubank. So presumably after the failed test, somebody has done something, leading to this "medical information ". That information has yet to see the light of day.

Vada, ukad and the board have all been dragged into the controversy and stand to suffer lasting damage. If Eddie and Conor magic up a "get out of jail " card somehow, the focus will fall upon those organisations even more.

I think it may come down to the difference between being able to say, Conor passed all the other tests and was ok to box, and the more widespread feeling that Conor has allegedly been on Peds and a trace caused the failed test. I expect Eddie to drive, or attempt to drive, the focus to be on the former, coupled with the "medical information ".

I suppose lawyers's advice is behind everyone being so tight lipped.

Either Eddie already knows how they will play it, and is confident he'll have the last word, or else he'll be waiting for the opportunity to publicly ditch Benn when a revelation comes out.

I think it comes down to, either Conor (by now) knows why the test failed, or else he's saying (privately) he's got no idea. It will be interesting to see what ukad do with the information vada has now shared. If Conor already knows what caused the test to fail he may be confident he can talk his way out of this mess. If he has no idea, it will be worrying times because no explanation from him simply won't cut the mustard. Perhaps he'll have his own "nasal spray" explanation.

I suspect he'll end up with a ban, having said all that.

1. Tell everyone you ate uncastrated wild boar meat.
2. When the BBBofC write to you asking you to contact them to attend a hearing..... don't.
3. Knowing you're a PED cheat and the afore mentioned hearing would mean a ban, go on a diet of alcohol and recreational drugs.
4. Develop depression, which isn't helped by your career being in the toilet and the massive amount of depressants you've been drinking.
5. After suicidal thoughts, you hit the gym again.
6. Because the ban would have been for 2 years and you've effectively sat out said ban.
7. Get your lawyers and your Uncle Fwank to leverage the board into giving you your licence back without you having to admit that you did anything wrong.
8. Resume your career.

Why not? It's worked before.

Can I shag a post?

Spud wrote: ↑12 Oct 2022, 14:30 I am really surprised by the vote with over 50% thinking Benn will get off on a legal technicality.

Will anyone be apologetic or sorry if Benn is innocent? Or are you totally convinced he is guilty … if so why?

I think most of us cynics know that he's guilty as sin but will get a slap on the wrist at best because of some procedural error.
