The testing is administered by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, a highly respected third-party testing agency that also conducted the two tests that showed the presence of clomiphene in Benn’s body. The WBC justified its ruling on the grounds that Benn’s positive tests were in violation of statutes in its Clean Boxing Program, which is a testing protocol that the WBC requires for all fighters ranked within the Top 15 across all weight classes.

Hearn on Conor Benn's Next Fight: 'Testing Process Going To Be ... (BoxingScene.com)

Promoter Eddie Hearn insists there will be stringent drug testing—apparently, the most stringent in boxing history—for Conor Benn's next fight.

In the past, the WBC has shown that it will drop fighters from its rankings if they fail to enroll in its program. The WBC and VADA are partners in the Clean Boxing Program, a mandatory clean-up program for all fighters who are ranked with the organization. That has put the WBC and VADA in a thorny position. It’s an expensive fight and we’re in talks with a number of countries to stage that fight at the moment. Benn has threatened to take legal action at the Board, which has complained that Benn and his legal team have not been transparent and forthcoming. Hearn did not offer any specifics regarding the drug testing, such as the program that would be employed.
