“We’ve Proved It’s Contamination”: Post the Egg Fiasco, Conor Benn’s Team Set to Present Evidence to UKAD and BBBoC

Conor Benn, 26, faced a significant setback in his career last year. He tested positive for the banned substance clomifene during VADA drug tests not once, but twice. This unfortunate turn of events resulted in the cancellation of his highly anticipated fight against Chris Eubank Jr. However, Benn’s decision to refuse cooperation with the UKAD investigation was motivated by a dispute with the BBBofC.

Instead, he opted to collaborate with the WBC. Moreover, he presented them with a comprehensive 270-page defense report to clear his name. Nevertheless, the WBC lacked the authority to impose a ban and could only remove him from their rankings. Moreover, WBC suggested that his positive tests were due to excessive egg consumption. Meanwhile, Benn expressed his intention to make a comeback on June 3 and because of the BBBofC restriction, Benn decided to have the fight in the USA or UAE

However, BBBofC intervened by issuing a warning. They stated that anyone holding a license under their jurisdiction could face penalties for participating in a Benn fight. Moreover, it will be the same even if the fight took place abroad. Faced with this predicament, Benn finally decided to cooperate with the UKAD investigation. Furthermore, he submitted his 270-page defense report to them as well.

As a result, UKAD provisionally suspended Benn and formally charged him with the “alleged use of a prohibited substance.” If proven guilty, Benn could face a two-year ban from boxing. The BBBofC confirmed the charge and emphasized their reliance on UKAD to enforce anti-doping regulations. However, Benn has now come out, and he is using the help of doctors to prove his innocence.

Conor Benn seeks doctors’ help to prove his innocence

Conor Benn has tried to clear his name with the assistance of a team of doctors. After testing positive for Clomifene last Fall, Benn has received widespread criticism. Throughout this period, he has vehemently maintained his innocence. Moreover, Eddie Hearn attempted to arrange his return to the ring, though without success.

In his quest to prove contamination rather than intentional drug use, he enlisted the expertise of Dr. Mohammed Enayat. Moreover, in an interview with The Times, the U.K.-based doctor supported Benn’s claims. Dr. Enayat confidently backed Benn and stated that the urine sample provided by Benn demonstrated consistent evidence of food contamination rather than deliberate ingestion of the drug.

“Without a question of doubt we’ve proved it’s contamination, 100 percent.,” he stated. Furthermore, The Times also interviewed Dr. Serkan Kahyaoglu, who corroborated Benn’s assertions. As a distinguished medical scientist with numerous published works, Kahyaoglu elucidated a study conducted by himself and Dr. Enayat.

This study successfully differentiated between individuals who intentionally consumed Clomifene and those who had been exposed to the drug through contamination. Kahyaoglu emphasized the presence of distinct metabolites in Benn’s urine doping test results, indicating contamination rather than intentional usage. He stated, “It would be unfair to blame Conor Benn due to his positive doping test result for clomiphene.” What do you think about the situation? Do you believe Benn should stay banned?
