Zubaira Tukhugov vecht niet tegen Tiago Trator na potentiële doping overtreding

Zojuist is er een statement van de UFC naar buiten gekomen. Zubaira Tukhugov heeft twee out of competition samples afgeleverd die positief zijn.

Hierdoor is hij van het gevecht gehaald aankomende December tegen Tiago Trator in Albany, New York.

De UFC probeert om voor Trator nog op tijd een vervanger te vinden om tegen te vechten.

Check hieronder het statement :

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Zubaira Tukhugov of a potential Anti-Doping violation stemming from out-of-competition sample collections made on September 7, 2016 and October 29, 2016. USADA has provisionally suspended Tukhugov based on the potential anti-doping violation. The UFC is removing Tukhugov from his scheduled bout against Tiago Trator on December 9 in Albany, New York, and is in the process of attempting to locate a replacement.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Consistent with all previous potential anti-doping violations, additional information or UFC statements will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.
