Conor Benn, a professional boxer, has been cleared of doping violations by the National Anti-Doping Panel after testing positive for the fertility drug clomifene twice in the lead-up to his October 2022 fight against Chris Eubank. This decision reversed an earlier position where a fight was canceled due to the doping allegations, which placed Benn under provisional ban. In a statement following the ruling, Benn expressed relief after two challenging years, emphasizing his commitment to clean sport and his desire to return to the boxing ring. While Benn is eager to pursue a long-anticipated match with Eubank, UKAD has indicated that they will review this decision and may consider an appeal. Thus, while he is free to continue his career, the situation remains complex with potential repercussions still hovering over him.
