Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled bout against Abubakar Vagaev after UFC flagged a substance in his testing history. According to sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov submitted records of all substances used over the past six months and returned a clean test, but UFC required him to retest due to one compound that remained in his system for an extended period. Aliskerov drew a parallel to the meldonium cases that affected multiple Russian athletes, suggesting the substance was a common supplement that lingers in the bloodstream rather than a deliberate doping agent.
