Janibek "Meldonium-Style" Alimkhanuly.

So the title is held hostage for a year and he has a guaranteed payday upon his return. With guys fighting once or twice a year, missing out on a Crawford fight was the only substantial punishment.

LMAO. Crawfish would never have fought him.

So disappointed that Janibek has popped positive.

Meldonium is used a lot more in northern European countries. It's rarely seen in the U.S. People here in the U.S. are much more into drugs like Ostarine and Nandrolone, like Ryan Garcia, he fu...king loves that sh..t flowing through his veins. Without it, he's just Ryan the Instagram metro-se_xual. But when he's on that O-pack, that's when he turns into King Ry

It’s ridiculous. He should be stripped of the belt as well as suspended.

I hope the other sanctioning bodies will do this. Otherwise there is hardly any punishment at all for a champion failing a PED test.
