[@simonkrebs6043]

Eddie rang his mates at VADA to spike Ryan's sample after Ryan's father abused Eddie. Eddie has gone too far this time. Many boxers know what has happened including Gervonta Davis who has called it out. The fact they used Deca (Nandrolone) to spike the sample is ridiculous. No one is going to believe a light weight boxer would use such a drug leading into a fight. Next time at least use a believable drug Eddie. Or there may not be a next time as it looks like the boxers are going to move against him.

There is no oral Deca it must be injected. Everyone knows it is very easy to detect with the Metabolites staying in your urine for up to 6 months. The Deca was in the second test so he must have injected it after the first test a few days before the fight ? It takes 4 weeks to even have any positive effect which will be to put on weight.

How sad for those who believe in all this nonsense...

It's mental! The entire situation with this has been a comedy of errors within all parties involved. Ultimately Conor is responsible for what enters his body, so a ban should have been served and it has been in a sense. His team need to take it on the chin and accept a ban however, the ban needs to be back dated! An 18 month ban would have been the likely punishment, so with a bit of pride swallowing on both parties, he should be free to fight

GAD is correct here boxing needs a worldwide organization that has a better and more efficient system for this. In terms of Conor Benn he'll probably just get another 12 to 18 months since he's already been near 2 years. I highly doubt they're going to add 2 to 4 years

The BBBOC and UKAD have a flawed rule system, and they're making a meal out of this because it's been expolited. This is what you get when you have so many independent businesses in boxing. Benn never failed a UKAD drug test, and the WBC cleared him (somewhat) of the situation. But there's something that runs deep in the BBBOC and the Benn family

[@d.b.cooper1]

UKAD & the board changed their rules a while back where they said they would now acknowledge other tests. This was well before he failed any of his tests. God knows how he won his 1st case but that was with the National anti doping panel who are silly af & hadn't updated their rules cause they never thought such a powerful promoter & legal team would back a clear case of drug cheating. Thankfully upon review with wider consideration the right decision was made for British boxing. WBC is literally a family run business that profits off fighters & has no power when it comes to licencing or commissioning fights. Benn's case was literally refuted by the WBC....instead the WBC gave him the excuse of eggs which Benn's own team refused to accept lol.

[@alexreid4131]

Benn Jr fails two test and people lose their minds for two years. Ryan Garcia fails two tests (maybe three?) and everyone gives him a pass. One didn’t fight with PEDs in their system. The other did. Can anyone explain the two different attitudes to me please?

[@paulshallbbk6778]

Didnt Benn pass the UKAD test and fail a VADA test so then he passed the official drug testing for the BBOC but failed the voluntary testing that covers world boxing so they ignored the UKAD results and went with the VADA voluntary results if this is the case what's the point of UKAD please correct me if I'm wrong as this is just what I thought I heard and could be wrong

[@jd-te5sc]

boxing needs cleaned up just like many other sports, there is no place for cheats

Lol lol This strict liability thing don’t make sense! Because if someone has eaten (food not supplements) something and that is out of anyone’s control and they get positive test for a performance enhancement drug and is proven to come from that food then how are they to be blamed and get a two year ban due to strict liability because for me they proven their innocence and they can carry on! It was simply not their fault! But if you can’t prove it then I understand a four year ban or even life because they obviously took the gear! But again if they taken something over the counter and didn’t realise and made a mistake due to diligence then again a 6 month to a year ban max because they didn’t do intentionally! So strict liability is a daft concept each case should be assessed on its on accord!
