Conor Benn has taken aim at both the WBC and the British Boxing Board of Control in an explosive statement released on social media.
Benn, 26, was last week cleared by the WBC over his failed drugs test that scuppered his much anticipated catchweight bout with Chris Eubank Jnr last year. The son of former world champion Nigel tested positive for the substance clomiphene, but the authority ruled that a 'highly-elevated consumption of eggs' had caused the adverse reading.
Stating there was "no conclusive evidence" that Benn had knowingly ingested in the substance, the authority also said: "There were no failures in the procedures related to sample collection, sample analysis, or violations of Mr. Benn's B Sample rights that would justify questioning or invalidating the Adverse Finding; and Mr. Benn's documented and highly-elevated consumption of eggs during the times relevant to the sample collection, raised a reasonable explanation for the Adverse Finding."
