UFC’s Azamat Murzakanov accepts six-month suspension for anti-doping violation

BAD MMA News — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 19:31:39 +0000

Azamat Murzakanov has accepted a six-month suspension for violating the UFC’s anti-doping program, despite proof there was no performance-enhancing element to his situation. Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) announced Monday through the UFC that Murzakanov (14-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) tested positive for a banned substance prior to his scheduled fight with Nikita Krylov at UFC 308. Upon further investigation, it was discovered Murzakanov had ingested the substance through a tainted supplement. Although follow-up testing showed the substance no longer was present in his system, Murzakanov still was issued a 180-day suspension from CSAD and is ineligible to compete until May 1.
