Hand-to-hand combat champion Azamat Murzakanov in an interview” “Told how he tried to challenge the disqualification after traces of boldenone and meldonium were found in his 2017 doping test.
Murzakanov (11-0 in MMA) passed the test by signing with the UFC, but at that time had no time to fight there.
– We then hired a lawyer, and the process took almost a year and a half. Everything dragged on for a very long time. It didn’t happen right away that we were told: “That’s it, disqualification for two years.” But it slowly dragged on. And when a year and a half had already passed, when they had already announced this disqualification, there was still a little before the end of the term. We hired a lawyer because when we signed with the UFC after DIA, I listed the drugs I was using. He indicated that he used meldonium. I didn’t know about the second drug and I don’t know how it ended up in the sample. I have nothing to hide.
[Про вскрытие пробы «Б»] Seems to me they test a little differently here. They didn’t take a “B” sample from me, they just tested it twice. The first test gave such a result,” Murzakanov said.
At the moment, the fighter is preparing for a second fight in the UFC, having won the first by knockout and earned a bonus of $50,000. The fight against Devin Clark will take place on August 13.
