UFC heavyweight signee Bilyal Makhov spoke out against the the World Anti-Doping Agency’s suggested ban on Russia’s participation in the Olympics.
An Olympic tournament without Russia is nothing more than an "ordinary tournament," according to UFC heavyweight Bilyal Makhov.
The Dagestan native and member of the proposed Russian freestyle wrestling team at this year's Olympics is referencing the World Anti-Doping Agency's suggested ban on all Russian athletes from Olympic competition following a report revealed state-level corruption in the doping control process.
According to WADA, the Russian government tampered with the doping results of their athletes during the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
