World ranked welterweight contender Radzhab Butaev has spoken out following the recent details of Alexander Besputin’s failed drug test results from their WBA "regular" welterweight world championship fight on November 30, 2019 in Monte Carlo.

Recently, Butaev and his team were informed that the ‘B’ sample from Besputin also contained LGD-4033(Ligandrol). The ‘A’ sample contained the same prohibited drug when the finding was announced in January. 

Besputin was declared the winner of their hard-fought bout by unanimous decision by scores of 116-112 on all three judges’ scorecards.
