LONDON (AP) Conor Benn was cleared of intentional doping when the WBC ruled Wednesday that the British boxers consumption of eggs presented a reasonable explanation for his failed test.

Benns catchweight bout with Chris Eubank Jr. scheduled for last October had been canceled after Benns urine test showed trace amounts of fertility drug Clomiphene, a banned substance that boosts testosterone levels while burning fat.

The all-British bout was scheduled to take place 30 years after the fathers of Benn and Eubank Jr. Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank fought in the ring in one of British boxings great rivalries.

Mr. Benns documented and highly elevated consumption of eggs during the times relevant to the sample collection raised a reasonable explanation for the adverse finding, the WBC said in its ruling.

The WBC said it will reinstate the 26-year-old Benn in its rankings. The sanctioning body said there was no conclusive evidence that Mr. Benn engaged in intentional or knowing ingestion of Clomiphene.

Benns status remains in doubt despite the WBCs ruling.

British boxing authorities had called off Benns bout following the tests conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association. Benn, who has denied any wrongdoing, had then relinquished his license with the British Boxing Board of Control.

The board and UK Anti-Doping are still investigating.

The BBBoC has not been party to the review conducted by the WBC and has not been provided with sight of any evidence submitted on Mr. Benns behalf, the board said in a statement.
