Panel: What are your ideas on Conor Benn being reinstalled within the WBC rankings following the too-many-eggs excuse?


Jordan Gill (Former European featherweight champion)

I believe it’s fascinating. I perceive the WBC have totally different processes to the British Boxing Board of Management, so I’m eager to see the conclusion from the Board as soon as all the data is accessed. I like Benn and hope to see him again within the ring as quickly as doable, however one wonders how a fighter that’s additional down the pay scale would afford to combat his or her nook if that they had eaten the same variety of eggs.

Wayne Alexander (Former European super-welterweight champion)

They will need to have believed his purpose for having clomiphene in his system and so they will need to have learn the 250-page doc completely and are available to the conclusion that Conor didn’t deliberately put an unlawful substance in his physique. The WBC should not a drug-testing physique like UKAD and VADA, so being put again within the rankings doesn’t imply that he can combat once more. He nonetheless wants a licence. I do hope he will get his profession again on observe as a result of he was on a roll and the clock is ticking.

Marcus Morrison (Middleweight contender)

I actually don’t assume it sends out an excellent message to fighters at any stage – particularly on the high stage, the place fighters are purported to be very cautious with what goes into their physique, realizing that they could possibly be examined at any time. I really feel just like the WBC have probably and unintentionally opened up a free-for-all for fighters to take sure performance-enhancing medicine, then flip round and use the excuse that they’ve been consuming too many eggs. Legitimate or not, the place do you draw the road?

Chris McKenna (Journalist)

What we want is extra transparency. The place had been the eggs sourced? Or is it from an egg-white based mostly complement that was claimed within the Mail on Sunday on the weekend? Benn should show that what he took was contaminated with clomiphene. It’s not adequate simply saying that it may have been. Perhaps he has proven proof to the WBC, however we now have not been proven it. Extra questions than solutions.
