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

I wonder if the McLelland family are starting to run out of money for his care etc, and are seeing this as a cash cow.

Benn is one of my all time favourite fighters, I'd hate to see his name dragged through the mud.

There is no real hard evidence against him and he has denied it himself. Seems like a load of nonsense to me. A bit wrong of McClennans family to suddenly discover 'evidence' after so long. It's like they waited for the Manny/Floyd debacle to get the idea.

Especially because they say there is "steroids or enhancing substances" involved but they can't say what it is, which is a nonsense in itself, if you detect something, you normally know what it is to make such claim. Also, from a 16 years old blood sampler taken on a boot which has passed through X hands in the meantime, it's one of the less credible assertion ever.
