In the boxing world, a major stir has been caused in recent days by the results of a doping test from Olympic champion Lazizbek Mullajonov, who has represented our country in international competitions. According to official information from the International Testing Agency (ITA), metasterone was detected in the sample Mullajonov provided on June 11, 2025. This is a synthetic anabolic androgenic steroid included in the list of banned substances for athletes, used to increase muscle mass and endurance.
It is reported that this test was carried out out-of-competition, and the results clearly indicate a violation of anti-doping rules. Mullajonov has been officially notified of this situation and is given the right to request an analysis of the B sample, meaning a retest. If the B sample also confirms the presence of metasterone, the violation will be deemed proven and the athlete will be sanctioned. If he refuses the retest, the case will still be regarded as an established anti-doping violation.
According to international anti-doping regulations, Lazizbek Mullajonov has been temporarily suspended from all competitions. At the same time, the athlete is given the opportunity to provide his explanation for this situation. This will play a decisive role in his future sporting career.
It should be noted that 26-year-old Lazizbek Mullajonov won a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in the 92 kg weight category. He is also the bronze medalist of the 2023 World Championships.
This event has aroused great interest and concern not only among the boxing community but also among all sports fans. Now all attention is focused on Mullajonov’s B sample analysis and its results. In addition, the opportunities and legal rights given to the athlete will determine his future fate.
As new information and official conclusions are announced, everyone is interested in how this case will develop.
