World Conker Champion Cleared of Cheating Allegations

David Jakins, accused of using a steel conker, was found to have won the title fairly after an investigation.

The investigation into David Jakins' victory at the World Conker Championships concluded he did not use a steel conker during the competition.
Jakins, known as 'King Conker', had a steel conker in his pocket for entertainment purposes, not for competitive use.
Video and photographic evidence, along with testimony from judges, supported the conclusion that cheating was unlikely.
Jakins' opponent, Alastair Johnson-Ferguson, accepted the outcome with sportsmanship despite initial concerns.
Kelci Banschbach, an American, won the overall World Conker Champion title, marking the first American win since 1965.
