    Oh FFS! C'mon!!! This is ridiculous. Right when the Middleweight division was about to be a bit more interesting this happens. Super disappointed in Janibek. :ohno:duh

    I am innocent. It was from tainted ( insert ).

    And if you believe that, we might as well stop testing.

    Real shame. A) cause I enjoy watching janibek B) I was looking forward to a potential Crawford fight.

    Jaime Munguia, Francisco Rodriguez, Joseph Parker, Subriel Matias and now Janibek Alimkhanuly. 2025 has been quite a year for failed testing.

    Meldonium, which is a anti-ischemic prescription drug developed for treating cardiovascular and neurological conditions. Hopefully the amount in his system isn't above the limit. (Matias' finding was 0.6 with the limit for being Ostarine 1.0 for example). It would suck if they called it off, because I was looking forward to it.

    I mean you couldn't tell from all the acne on his chest?

    Here is a pro tip - ALWAYS take LESS than the recommended dose and what your "nutritionist" and "strength and conditoning" coach recommends.

    If he says take 2 tablets....take 1

    If he says jab your left buttock, jab your right one instead with a needle half the size.

    That PED will leave your system in half the time and still be effective

    Apparently he popped for Meldonium, which is one of those where any performance enhancing effect is very dubious (I would personally say it doesn't exist.) If he popped for something genuinely performance enhancing I would say cancel the fight and throw the book at him, but maybe some circumspection would be helpful here. Having said all that looking at the precedented punishments the Lara fight will almost certainly be cancelled and Janibek could face a lengthy ban.

    So convenient! And just like that, Janibek's career is ruined and potential fight with Crawford is dead in the water. Just like like Wilder's last minute save against Povetkin, who tested positive for the same damned thing. Seems like someone at PBC is serving as a guardian angel.

    Yes, dear Crawford, 135 to 168 with little to no fat gain, he should never fight a potential drug cheat!

    In Bud’s defense, he fought Canelo so he probably wouldn’t care.
