WBC reinstates Benn in the rankings

The World Boxing Council made a decision regarding the undefeated welterweight boxer Conor Benna. Last October, Benn was scheduled to fight Chris Eubank Jr. in intermediate weight. Their fight was canceled less than a week before the event when it was revealed that Benn had tested positive for doping. Later, Benn himself said that in an earlier test, he also passed a positive result for the same banned substance.

Both tests were carried out by the VADA agency, which cooperates with the WBC. As a result, the Council will remove Benn from its official rankings and deprive him of the opportunity to compete for his titles. But after investigating the matter over the past few months, the sanctioning body has found no "convincing evidence" that Benn knowingly used a banned substance.

Benn has yet to deal with the British Boxing Commission (BBBoC) the local anti-doping agency UKAD. The head of the BBBoC, Robert Smith, claims that Benn, who currently does not have a valid boxing license in the UK, is not cooperating with their organization. The British Council is demanding that UKAD consider the evidence that Benn's legal team has presented to the WBC.

A positive result for clomiphene, a metabolic modulator that promotes testosterone production and increases testosterone levels while burning fat, Benn attributed to a diet high in eggs.
