Danylo Voievodkin's post-fight success at Dana White's Contender Series has been overshadowed by his positive test for meldonium, resulting in a two-year suspension from competition. The Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) confirmed that Voievodkin's violation came from an out-of-competition sample collected after his victory. Since meldonium has no therapeutic exemption and shows no evidence of cooperation from Voievodkin, the CSAD enforced the full ban. The substance has a controversial history in sports, previously linked to scandals in various athletic disciplines.
Voievodkin has been handed a two-year suspension from competition after testing positive for meldonium, a substance banned at all times following his DWCS win.
CSAD issued the full-length two-year ban due to the nature of the substance, which holds no therapeutic exemption and indicates no cooperation from Voievodkin.
Meldonium, used to treat heart conditions, has a history in sports, notably making headlines when Maria Sharapova tested positive for it in 2016.
Following his positive test after a victorious performance on Dana White's Contender Series, Voievodkin has since been released by the UFC.
