Maryna Moroz Receives One-Year UFC Anti-Doping Ban for Meldonium Positives

CSAD cut the usual two-year term based on full cooperation plus corroborating medical records.

Overview

  • Out-of-competition tests on June 25 and July 16 in Boca Raton detected meldonium, which is prohibited at all times.
  • CSAD treated the two positives as a single violation because she had not been notified of the first result before the second collection.
  • Her ineligibility is backdated to July 17, 2025 and ends July 17, 2026.
  • Investigators said she did not inform her physician she was in a testing program or apply for a therapeutic use exemption.
  • The sanction was reduced from the standard two years after CSAD credited complete cooperation, medical documentation, and no scheduled bouts during use.
