The legendary fighter, president of the MMA Union of Russia Fedor Emelianenko called to find out how his brother Alexander was allowed to fight against blogger Yevgeny Ershov at a tournament in Moscow.
Last week, Emelianenko defeated Ershov by submission in the second round.
“It seems to me that all this should be banned in a strict form. Who will deal with this - the prosecutor’s office together with the Ministry of Sports, the Ministry of Sports together with the federations and the prosecutor’s office … It must be banned. Already the fact that Alexander goes to battle in such a state … Khryunov can say anything that the doctors allowed. Well, show these doctors then! It is a criminal case to allow a person in such a state. For some reason, they come to work for us - there are breathalyzers. And artists allow themselves to go out drunk, under the influence of drugs. Athletes too. Madhouse. It shouldn’t be like this, ” Sport24 correspondent Vladislav Flegontov quotes Fedor Emelianenko as saying.
