Conor Benn on passing UKAD tests and being a professional athlete
After he failed the tests and the results became public defaming him, Benn vowed on getting to the bottom of it. At first, Benn branded the tests as a “faulty test” and then highlighted his records with the UKAD. While critics question his professionalism as an athlete, Benn cited his encounter with the UKAD. According to him, although he passed the UKAD tests, none talked about it. “I passed all my UKAD tests, which people aren’t talking about,” said Conor Benn as the VADA reports became public.
In addition, Benn talked about passing pretty much all the tests in his boxing journey. “I’ve passed all my tests in and out of camp. I’ve been a professional for seven years and never failed a test,” Benn added. Benn had clearly stated that he had not taken anything. In fact, the boxer emphasized his integrity in boxing. Moreover, Benn’s trainer believed in him and looked forward to seeing him return in 2023. Now that Benn is on his way to return to the WBC, what do you have to say about him?
