Nigel Benn Steroid Claim - 16 years later..........

[Hornfinger]

Yeah i read this in yesterday's SUN paper and was gutted to read it.Nigel Benn was and still is me favourite boxer.I grew up as a young kid in the 80's-90's watching his great fights.He was just soo raw and game every fight he was in.What a heart and desire Benn had.I only watched his dvd of his fights a couple of days ago before this news came up about him taking Steroids.I read his autobiography book a couple of years ago(its a great read,recommend it to anyone)and he does mention having wild parties AFTER his big fights with famous celebraties.He mentions having wild orgies with famous celebraties(most of which he did'nt want to mention due to reputation status).Benn was undefeated as he served in the army before going pro.Infact his record still stands today i think.Benn fought cruiserweights and heavyweight fighters in the army and still won,mainly by KO,that just goes to show how raw Benn was.There's no way Benn would have took steroid intentionally,"NO WAY!"

Benn is still me idol and always will be.Propper warrior Benn.Their sure dont create fighters like him anymore





Legend!!

I hate to repeat myself but.....

It is IMPOSSIBLE to say definitively that an athlete has or has not used steroids without testing (although it is down to the athlete to prove that he is clean not the other way round). You don't know nigel Benn, You weren't in his training camps etc etc
