Usman Nurmagomedov has been suspended 6 months by the California State of Athletic Commission after testing positive for a banned substance following his fight against Brent Primus at Bellator 300, per CSAC executive officer Andy Foster. That win has now been turned into a no contest.
Per Foster, Nurmagomedov had a prescription but failed to apply for a TUE. They are not releasing what the substance was. He has also been fined 50k and is enrolling in VADA
They are all doing it fucking with weight cuts, IVs and PEDs.
That’s why this camp cancels fights so regularly. That’s at least two of these guys that have popped and that new cunt with the googly eye is only a matter of time
You guys ever stop to think that maybe it’s the goats over there that are taking all these band substances, and then obviously there’s cross-contamination…
He should say he didn’t take anything, but that one the guys who he lays in a tub with must’ve been on some shit and it permeated throughout the bathwater.
Waste of a perfect record. Curious who’s to blame in something like this the manager or the gym? Like who organized the physician etc?
“Respondent provided evidence that the prohibited substance was prescribed to him by a physician and maintains that the prohibited substance was prescribed for therapeutic use,” the commission document states.
Nurmagomedov said the substance was from a medication prescribed by a physician, however, he failed to request a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) prior to the positive drug test. Nurmagomedov requested a TUE after the fact, but was denied by the commission.
Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MMA Junkie
