COMMENT: From the sport that once gave us a defence based on uncastrated wild boar, we now have another escape routes from a positive drugs test - the ravenous consumption of eggs.

All the arrogance and bluster from Hearn and Benn for the last 6 months about people having to grovel and apologise once facts came to light. Has backfired they have just made a mockery of themselves. The ridicule on Social media and the Tabloids is hilarious.
In a nutshell Team Benn pitched two excuses in their 270 page dossier. the WBC only accepted the Egg excuse citing that they could not prove Benn had intentionally taken Clomiphene. Which is hardly an exoneration.
But rejected the first and main excuse which was that Kings College London Lab used by Vada and all sporting bodies in the U.K. may have been responsible for contamination.
That was what Team Benn were aiming for, and I think even the WBC as corrupt as they are decided to reject this accusation against a highly respected and reputable Forensic Science Laboratory.
If WBC had accepted the accusation against the Lab. Then Team Benn and Hearn would have claimed full exoneration calling for people to issue retractions and aplogies. As it stands Benn and Hearn are just laughing stocks.
Would have been better just accepting it was in his system and taking a 6 month ban. A bit of contrition would have helped his reputation.
