Attempt on title Alexander Shlemenko middleweight suspended for an unknown period of time.
The fighter of Bellator Dag Marschall failed the test for the forbidden preparations, taken from it after a title match with omichomaleksandry "Storm" of Shlemenko which the American fighter lost a knockout in the first round. Reported the first the TheMMAReport.com resource about it.
It isn't reported, which substance is found in an organism of Marshall. The athletic Commission of the State of Pennsylvania does usual tests for a dope (the substances raising characteristics of the athlete) and on drugs (cocaine, marihuana, etc.), as well as other Athletic Commissions.
It is known that Marshall will be discharged of PSAC fights, but the exact term of discharge also isn't reported. However the source close to a situation reports that Dag is detached till February 7, that is less than for 3 months from the moment of fight with Shlemenko, will pay a penalty and will pass repeated test. Measures more than soft, considering that discharges of fighters of UFC by the Athletic Commissions of states Nevada and California last on the average for 9 – 12 months.
Marshall which has won the Grand Prix of the 8th season of Bellator on the average weight, on November 22 in title fight was knocked out by Alexander Shlemenko in hand blow in liver area. It is reported that "Rhinoceros", except other, before fight with "Storm" had on hands permission to carrying out replaceable therapy with testosterone (TRT) use.
Capture of Marshall on the use of the forbidden substances - actually the first high-profile case such for Bellator, unlike UFC where large doping scandals happen to frequency of times in two months. We will remind, earlier now the former champion of the organization in light-middleweight weight Ben Askren declared that Bellator at all doesn't carry out a drug test of the fighters.
