USADA finds Islam Makhachev not at fault for meldonium anti-doping violation

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced Wednesday that UFC lightweight Islam Makhachev had been found "without fault or negligence" for an out-of-competition drug test administered on April 4 that popped positive for the banned substance meldonium. As a result, Makhachev will not face further punishment for his positive test.
Makhachev, 24, was flagged for an out-of-competition urine sample and pulled from competition the day before his April 16 fight against Drew Dober at UFC on FOX 19. U
