British Boxing Board of Control confirm Conor Benn's suspension still stands

BBBoC uphold Conor Benn's suspension

The British Boxing Board of Control released the following statement on May 10 regarding Conor Benn's current position in the UK:

‘The British Boxing Board of Control Limited (“BBBoC”) refers to a statement published today, 10 May 2024, by UK Anti-Doping (“UKAD”).

As UKAD have stated, the BBBoC can confirm that Conor Benn is subject to a Provisional Suspension prohibiting him from participating in any capacity (or assisting another Athlete in any capacity) in a Competition, Event or activity that is organised, convened, authorised or recognised by the BBBoC or any other World Anti-Doping Code-compliant sport.

UKAD and the BBBoC were successful in their respective appeals of a decision handed down by a tribunal of the independent National Anti-Doping Panel in July 2023, and Mr Benn’s Provisional Suspension was reimposed by the appeal tribunal following those successful appeals.

As Mr Benn’s case remains before the independent National Anti-Doping Panel and the case will now progress in accordance with the UK Anti-Doping Rules, the BBBoC is not able to make any further public comment at this time.’
