Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled UFC bout against Abubakar Vagaev after a substance in his system was flagged by the promotion. According to his sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov provided documentation of all substances taken over the past six months and his tests came back clean, but UFC took issue with a particular compound that remains detectable in the body for an extended period. Aliskerov compared the situation to past cases involving mildronate, suggesting the substance was once widely used in Russian sports and can linger in the bloodstream long after use is discontinued.
