“They Have to Be Looked Into”: Post the Egg Fiasco, Chris Eubank Sr Blames Conor Benn’s Team for His Failed Drug Test

Conor Benn‘s life turned upside down when he tested positive for a banned substance. Before he was scheduled to fight Chris Eubank Jr, the reigning WBA continental champion, failed his drug test. And that led to a beginning of a whole new saga in Benn’s professional career. To this failed drug test, the 26-year-old admitted to eating a lot of eggs and claimed that is the reason he failed the test. Even though he has been relieved of these accusations, it led to many other setbacks for him. However, amid all the hearsay around Benn’s accusations, it seems like Chris Eubank Sr. thinks otherwise of this whole scenario.

In a recent interview, the former two-division world champion talked about Benn’s drug test failing fiasco and gave his opinion. A fight between Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. is the front-runner to mark Benn’s return to the boxing ring. But however, any official announcements are yet to be made.

In an interview with talkSPORT, Eubank Sr. discussed the deeper picture of Benn’s failed test. And he talked about how someone in his team is responsible for Benn’s failed test. Moreover, he showed his appreciation for Benn by talking about showing his strength.

Eubank Sr. said, “Let me tell you something about Connor, which no one has actually brought up. Conor went on to a show called The Piers Morgan show. That’s walking into the light. When you walk into the light, that shows a man to be honest, not dishonest.” The 56-year-old further pointed out that no one from Benn’s team has come forward and said anything about the test.

It seems like the former champion believes that Benn’s team should be held accountable for his failed drug test. And, he further stated that their absence has only raised more questions. He said, “Where was his team, Someone would have administered these drugs or steroids. The only people I know next to him is a former fighter and his promoter. They have to be looked into. The boxing board of control needs to look into them.”

Eubank Sr. further highlighted that Benn was confused about what happened on the Piers Morgan show. He claimed that when a person is guilty, they don’t walk in the “light” and talk about it. It seems like Eubank Sr. is certain that Benn is innocent.
