Benn reported: “The WBC have declared me harmless of getting a medications cheat. I am grateful for the supreme getting. It was the ideal selection and it was the only 1 I was eager to take … My only annoyance is that the way in which I have been cleared has appeared to generate even more inquiries and include additional fuel to baseless unfavorable speculation.
“In my defence to the WBC and the 270-website page report offered to them, at no issue did I indicate that I unsuccessful any VADA checks because of contaminated eggs.”
He added: “However, I experience like the WBC statement did a disservice to my defence which was centered on a comprehensive scientific critique of the tests techniques, which set out a amount of causes why we believed the benefits ended up absolutely unreliable, and proved further than any acceptable question that I am innocent.
“The report organized by my science and legal staff contained extensive analysis of equally checks and concluded that there was distinct proof of basic flaws and irregularities.
“By way of just a single example, my sample appears to have come back again obvious the first 3 occasions it was analyzed. With out clarification, it was retested all over again right after 9 times and only then did it show a trace optimistic final result. It should only have been examined at the time!”

The statement extra: “These crucial findings were being endorsed by an unbiased expert scientist who gives accreditation to laboratories, and his view was that the a lot of problems were being so troubling and critical that the lab could get rid of its accreditation. My group will be referring the issues to the related accrediting overall body so it can make its possess dedication.
“For what it is worthy of, and contrary to the media speculation at the time, I asked for the B samples be analyzed at the earliest prospect. Since of the value of hoping to get to the bottom of what experienced took place I arranged for a scientist to fly throughout the planet to go to the screening treatment in man or woman (as you’re authorized to do below the rules) and unbelievably she was not even authorized to be in the space when the test success arrived through. How’s that for transparency?
“I have been suggested that’s a significant breach of an athlete’s rights and had it been important to go to the Court of Arbitration for Activity on this scenario to verify my innocence, that by yourself would have meant the examination benefits were being dismissed.”
Benn continued: “I am convinced the substance was never ever in my program and I absolutely never ever knowingly ingested.
“I am instructed it’s a little something that supposedly stays in the human body for months, and yet barely a week following failing a VADA take a look at, I passed a UKAD check.
“I have under no circumstances beforehand unsuccessful any form of anti-doping take a look at, and passed multiple assessments with the two UKAD and VADA in close proximity to the two assessments that returned adverse results. This provides more proof to my belief that the conclusions ended up testing errors.”
On the BBBoC, Benn mentioned: “For these who have gave me their unwavering assist I will forever be grateful. For individuals who reported they would hold out for a verdict before determining I was responsible, I take pleasure in your patience.
“As for the BBBoC, they attacked me publicly and privately in the course of the most tricky time of my lifetime, managing me with utter contempt and devoid of any consideration for honest approach or my mental condition.”
