Drug cheats in Boxing.

Jarrell Miller has been granted a provisional boxing licence by Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Miller was previously suspended ahead of his scheduled fight on July 9, 2020 against Jerry Forrest by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Miller denied "willingly" taking a performance-enhancing drug after reports of a failed drug test ruined plans for the bout in Las Vegas.

The Brooklyn heavyweight was also denied a licence to fight Anthony Joshua by the New York State Athletic Commission in 2019, following an adverse finding from a drugs test in March of the same year.

Miller admitted he "messed up" in a contrite video message posted on Instagram, saying he would "come back better".

Miller's participation for his Joshua bout was already under threat after the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) informed both camps of an adverse finding in a drug-testing sample, leading to him being denied a licence for the date at Madison Square Garden.

The unbeaten 34-year-old resumed his career earlier this year with two low-profile wins in Buenos Aires and Tennessee.

But Miller has now been cleared to fight in Las Vegas in the next few months.

A statement from Nevada State Athletic Commission to Sky Sports said: "Jarrell Miller was granted a 2022 Professional Boxers license which will expire at the end of the year."

Yeah... you could almost see this coming. What else to expect out of boxing nowadays?

Maybe there's a "10 times' the charm" limit we're all unaware of....

Not to be outdone ol Jean Pascal has been granted yet another title eliminator by the ibf. Didn't he get popped for 3 banned substances ? But if getting closer to a one man wrecking crew in Beterbiev at this stage is really what he deems wise, hey I'm all for it.

Conor Benn has been removed from the WBC’s world rankings pending the outcome of investigations into his two positive drugs tests.

The 26-year-old, who failed tests for clomifene in July and September, was rated as fifth in the WBC standings prior to the saga that has threatened to derail his career.

While the WBC’s website still show Benn in that position, their president Mauricio Sulaiman has revealed his ranking is suspended until the conclusion of enquiries, with both the WBC and UK Anti-Doping conducting separate investigations.

Sulaiman said: ‘We are in communication with Conor Benn and his legal team and we will be investigating to the fullest and going through the protocol and process. He will be out of the rankings until we can make a final determination.’

It is understood the WBC investigation, which will have the greater bearing on when Benn can fight abroad, could be resolved before Christmas.

Benn has maintained his innocence, with his team currently examining possible contamination of his samples, as well as querying the procedures around the VADA testing.

According to The Times, Benn's legal team have been looking into the food he ate in the build-up to his clash with Eubank, and the Brit has claimed he was consuming 'between 30 and 34 eggs a week'.

They could aim to reference a 2020 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) study that analysed whether 'poultry and eggs are a source of minute amounts of clomiphene in doping control samples'.

Benn insists the traces of clomifene found in his system were 'so low there was no performance benefit'.

However, he may have issues proving that chicken eggs were the reason behind his positive tests given the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs have concluded that clomifene isn't authorised for use in animals in the UK.

Promoter Eddie Hearn, too, is convinced that his man is innocent despite admitting initially doubting him.

'Yes, I have doubted his innocence,' Hearn told SecondsOut. 'But I’ve made the decision – based on the facts, based on talking to him, based on knowing him, based on going through this process – that I believe that he’s innocent.

'People might criticise me for that, but I’m entitled to my opinion.'
