NOW BENN CLAIMS WBC HAVE EGG ON THEIR FACE

CONOR BENN has insisted it was never his idea to blame his failed drugs tests on eggs in a bizarre twist to his doping saga. The WBC last week permitted the 26-year-old to return to their rankings in a verdict that was met with incredulity after their investigation found there was ‘no conclusive evidence’ Benn deliberately ingested clomiphene. Their findings, which have since drawn further scrutiny to Benn, went on to say the fighter’s consumption of eggs ‘raised a reasonable explanation’ for how the testosterone boo sting substance got in his system. However Benn, who still faces the possibility of a two-year ban pending the outcome of a separate investigation by UK Anti-Doping, said: ‘In my defence to the WBC at no point did I indicate that I failed any VADA tests because of contaminated eggs. I feel the WBC statement did a disservice to my defence.’
