Boxer Conor Benn acquitted by WBC for linking egg-eating drug test failure
Conor Benn has been acquitted by the World Boxing Council (WBC) of an anti-doping rule violation. It is reported by The Guardian.
According to the source, the athlete provided the WBC with information about the diet, due to which he ate a lot of eggs during the period when the positive doping test was taken, and linked the diet to the problem. The WBC recognized the boxer’s arguments as convincing and considered that he could have taken the illegal testosterone-boosting drug clomiphene unintentionally.
Benn spent 21 fights in the ring and won all of them. He was unable to fight Chris Eubank Jr in October 2022 due to a failed drug test.
At the end of January 2020, Canadian canoeist Laurence Vincent-Lapointe cited sex as the reason for her drug test failure. The athlete said that the substance came to her after a “copious exchange of fluids” with a man. As a result, Vincent-Lapointe was acquitted.
