Former World Champion Paul Malignaggi said that he advocates longer disqualifications for boxers who fail a doping test.
“I agree with a 10-year disqualification for those who fail a doping test! But you know they're not going to do it if the superstar fails the test. Conor Benn started hitting harder than anyone you've seen in boxing in the last couple of years. Before that, he did not have such a force of impact, and you want to say that he did not dope?
Unfortunately, it must be admitted that this guy did not have such power before. Does this mean that my opinion on this matter stains his reputation? No. But he failed the test, paid the fine, and then all of a sudden he's clean? I'm tired of this," Malignaggi told YouTube channel talkSPORT.
Recall that in July it became known that Conor Benn escaped punishment for a positive doping test for clomiphene.
