CONOR BENN FAILS DRUG TEST; Eddie Hearn in the middle of UK scandal to sell PPV tickets

The next big fight boxing fans were truly looking forward to watching in the UK has hit a snag, and the story is making the news around the world, as it looks like Conor Benn, upon being tested for banned substances, was indeed found with a testosterone booster in his system - and the problem is the test was done months ago, yet is only now coming to light, just days before he is to fight Chris Eubank Jr. and some fans and people in the industry wonder whether it is a ploy to increase PPV sales.

This is according to Matchroom: “We have been made aware that a random anti-doping test for Conor Benn conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association returned an adverse analytical finding for trace amounts of a fertility drug. The B sample has yet to be tested, meaning that no rule violation has been confirmed. Indeed, Mr Benn has not been charged with any rule violation, he is not suspended, and he remains free to fight.

Mr. Benn has since passed a doping control test conducted by the UK Anti-Doping Agency, the anti-doping authority to which the British Board of Boxing Control has delegated its doping control testing for the bout. Mr Benn has passed all doping control tests conducted by UKAD.

Both fighters have taken medical and legal advice, are aware of all relevant information, and wish to proceed with the bout this Saturday.”
