UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) has announced that Conor Benn was charged with the alleged use of clomifene, a banned substance that boosts testosterone, this month. The charge could result in a two-year ban for the British boxer who has been trying to resume his troubled career abroad without clearing his name in public first.
LONDON : British welterweight Conor Benn has been provisionally suspended by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) after two failed voluntary drugs tests last year that forced the postponement of his fight against Chris Eubank Jr, the organisation said on Thursday.
UK Anti-Doping has confirmed boxer Conor Benn has been charged with an anti-doping violation and provisionally suspended.
Amir Khan has been banned for two years from all sport after being found guilty of having ostarine in his system on the night he lost to Kell Brook last year. Ostarine is a banned performance-enhancing drug and Khan, who retired from boxing in May 2022, received a positive test for the drug following a urine sample. Ad After the positive result, Khan's case was referred to an independent tribunal, which ruled out “deliberate or reckless conduct”.
E ddie Hearn and Conor Benn have been tested over the last eight months in ways the promoter describes as “unbelievable” and his boxer compares to a “witch hunt”. Yet they will soon intensify the controversy should Hearn announce Benn’s return to the ring in the Middle East. Benn’s comeback will happen despite the fact that he recorded two positive test results for clomifene, a banned substance which can boost testosterone by 50%, when he was preparing to face Chris Eubank Jr in a bout scheduled for last October.
The proposed revival of Conor Benn’s bout against Chris Eubank Jr is in danger of being derailed because the British Boxing Board of Control is likely to deny the latter permission to take part in the fight even if it is located abroad. All British boxing licence-holders need to apply to the board for permission to compete in a foreign territory under a different commission. If they refuse to do so then they run the risk of their British licence being suspended.
A headline fight between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr represents the frontrunner for Matchroom Boxing’s return to Abu Dhabi this summer – although Manny Pacquiao remains in the frame for a comeback bout in the capital.
