Conor Benn's Doping Suspension Lifted

Conor Benn's two-year suspension for doping has been lifted by the UK's National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP), which determined that UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) had not sufficiently proven he had committed an anti-doping rule violation for the banned substance clomifene. The NADP stated they were 'not comfortably satisfied' with the evidence presented by UKAD, leading to the dismissal of charges against Benn. Following this decision, Benn expressed gratitude and emphasized his commitment to clean sport, while also eyeing potential high-profile matches, including a long-anticipated bout with Chris Eubank Jr. Despite his suspension being lifted, UKAD has 21 days to consider an appeal. Benn's case has been complicated by issues regarding the authority of the drug tests conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, which were not sanctioned by UKAD. As of now, he is free to fight in the UK, but the British Boxing Board of Control has yet to reinstate his boxing license.
