Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled bout against Abubakar Vagaev after the UFC flagged a substance found in his system. According to Gasanov's sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov had provided documentation of all substances taken over the prior six months and his test showed no current use, but the UFC identified a long-lasting banned compound still detectable in his bloodstream and required him to retest before clearing him to compete. Aliskerov compared the situation to past cases involving mildronate, where athletes unknowingly carried residual traces of a banned substance long after use.
