Well Dan stared out the pod kinda slow but quickly got off several hard shots with his info on how the promoters did not let on that they had information on Benn's drug test failure, then jumped right down with some real effective body shots to the BBBC for being less then effective to say the least. He dropped F - Bombs less then sparingly but never lost his concentration and did not show any affilation with any promoters or platforms. Some may not have liked his praise of the jounalism that is sport jounalism that he raved about for a few seconds but most understand his solid thoughts on it overall.

Winner of best pod of the weekend and without a doubt a fine performance on the disguest we all have for PEDs in any sport but esp in Boxing.....

Great listen, as was Dan on some of UK YouTube channels, particularly iDBoxing.

Hearn [after previously being such a vocal supporter of VADA] trying to hide behind a technicality is absurd. We don't expect too much integrity in boxing, but the fact is he was prepared to put a [more than usual] weight drained fighter in with his own fighter who's tested positive for [regardless of a small amount at the time of testing - we're all sensible enough to understand what it really means - as Dan outlines so well in this podcast] a heavy duty substance/masking agent. Hopefully the story doesn't end here. We need more transparency in the sport.

In this case I think the promoters and BBBOC have more questions to answer than the fighter. Was Eubank's purse increased and was he asked to sign an NDA? How many other UK fights have taken place in similar circumstances?
