Former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko started a flashmob in his support, which reached the local government in the Omsk region of Russia.
Having been suspended for three years along with a $10,000 fine following a positive drug test for anabolic steroids, Alexander Shlemenko continues to produce resistance to and challenge the result of the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) hearing. After announcing that he would file suit against the commission for mishandling the drug test, Shlemenko began to rally support around his cause.
On his Instagram account, Shlemenko posted a photo of himself with a piece of paper with the hashtag #ForShlemenko.
