Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled UFC bout against Abubakar Vagaev after a substance in his system raised concerns with UFC's anti-doping program. Fighter Ikram Aliskerov, who trains with Gasanov, said his teammate had provided documentation of all substances used over the past six months and had tested clean, but UFC flagged a particular compound and required him to retest. Aliskerov compared the situation to the meldonium cases that affected other fighters, noting the substance can remain detectable in the body for an extended period and suggesting the removal amounted to a technicality rather than deliberate doping.
