Benn fails a drug test for abnormal levels of a fertility drug so Saturdays fight is off 🙄

It's not off, it's going ahead. He's officially broken no rules and no ban is being enforced.

He's been juicing. Fertility drugs get your levels straight after a cycle of test-roids etc.

No doubt, but UKAD have cleared it. The BBBoC have to be seen to be making these statements but I'd be shocked if they do actually stop the fight.
Money talks and the UKAD clearance is probably just that, money talking :hehe:

If it's 'prohibited ' then I guess it means the BBBC wont sanction it so it can't go ahead?
I'm not boxings biggest fan so don't completely understand the rules sorry.

They absolutely have the power to stop it, and if his B sample is a fail then they probably will do. However, the UKAD clearance along with a clear B sample would probably see it go ahead, especially when you factor in £20+mil revenue and a small percentage of that no doubt crossing the correct palms...

It could be stopped without doubt, but I suspect it unlikely, especially given the money involved.

If this fight goes ahead now its a disgrace.

Hope Eubank sues for loss of earnings.

Agreed.

Re: Benn v Eubank

It seems Eddie is trying to get an injunction for this to go ahead. If true he has no shame.

Boxers failing these tests should be banned for life.

Any links. All Ive found is Eddie still trying to get this on.

It'll probably drag on a bit.
I agree that it should be stopped, but there's £20+mil involved here so I suspect otherwise. It may be that they allow it to go ahead and then give Benn a ban after.

I disagree. I think they will have no option to call it off.

Sorry, just seen that Hearn is still not counting it off so who knows

There's a good argument not to though Hilts.
VADA are not the testing body used by the BBBoC, UKAD are, and he's been cleared on UKAD tests. Eddie now saying it's with the lawyers, who will obviously argue the same.
