In his recent statement, Conor Benn questioned the WBC citing, “egg contamination” as the likely cause of the 26-year-old failing his VADA tests. According to Benn, the WBC statement has done him a “disservice“. While the WBC statement was based upon a “scientific review of the testing procedures“, Benn, in his statement, claims that the report prepared by his team contained an extensive analysis of both tests which located “fundamental flaws and irregularities“.

Following Benn’s statement and an interview with Piers Morgan, talkSPORT correspondent Michael Benson expressed bewilderment.

Meanwhile, @HenkeKingOKings stated, “Yeah. We’re all supposed to believe that VADA tampered with at least 3 of his hot tests so far, because he [Conor Benn] said so.”

However, a fan named BernieWood, who has read and listened to Conor Benn believes in the latter’s side of the story. According to them, he [Benn] “wouldn’t gamble on his career by taking anything knowingly“.
