LONDON, April 20 (Reuters) - British welterweight Conor Benn has been provisionally suspended by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) after two failed voluntary drugs tests last year that forced the postponement of his fight against Chris Eubank Jr, the organisation said on Thursday. Undefeated Benn, who has reiterated his innocence, voluntarily relinquished his British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) licence after the Eubank Jr fight was called off, vowing to clear his name. "Following reports in the media and comments made by professional boxer Mr Conor Benn on Tuesday 18 April 2023, and in exceptional circumstances, UKAD confirms that Mr Benn was notified and provisionally suspended by UKAD on 15 March 2023 in accordance with the UK Anti-Doping Rules," a statement read. "UKAD can also confirm that on 3 April 2023 it charged Mr Benn with an Article 2.2 violation for the alleged Use of a Prohibited Substance (clomifene). The charge against Mr Benn is pending and will now follow the Results Management process in accordance with the UK Anti-Doping Rules."
WBC reinstates Benn after blaming eggs for failed dope tests

LONDON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Britain's Conor Benn will return to the WBC world rankings after the boxing body cleared him of intentional doping on Wednesday and said a "highly elevated consumption of eggs" was a reasonable explanation for failed tests last year. The WBC said in a statement that Benn's team had this month provided a detailed breakdown of his diet and consumption of supplements. It found no conclusive evidence that Benn, 26, intentionally ingested the banned substance Clomiphene and no procedural failures. "Benn’s documented and highly-elevated consumption of eggs during the times relevant to the sample collection, raised a reasonable explanation for the Adverse Finding," the WBC said. "The WBC Nutrition Committee will work with Mr. Benn’s team to design a nutrition program geared to avoid the risk of a future adverse finding caused by nutritional factors."
