# Boxing World Reacts To Conor Benn’s WBC Verdict

Conor Benn will be officially reinstated to the WBC’s rankings following the sanctioning body finding no evidence of ‘intentional ingestion’ in regards to a failed doping test.

The [conclusion of the investigation](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/wbc-clear-conor-benn-and-reveal-reasonable-explanation-for-failed-tests/) listed a high consumption of eggs as a ‘reasonable explanation’ for Benn testing positive for banned substance, Clomiphene.

Whilst the fighter potentially has an investigation with the British Boxing Board of Control ahead, the fighting world reacted to the [WBC verdict](https://wbcboxing.com/en/wbc-ruling-regarding-conor-benn/) – and it’s safe to say that most were baffled.
