Cris Cyborg Flagged for possible USADA violation

[MMAHAWK]

Cris Cyborg not getting the inaugural title shot in the UFC women’s featherweight division is the least of her problems right now.

The tale of Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg’s UFC career has another twist to it, and it’s bad news for Cyborg. On Thursday, the UFC released a statement confirming that Cyborg was flagged for a possible USADA violation on a sample collected only a few weeks ago. Here’s the statement in full:

The UFC organization was formally notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection on December 5, 2016.

That girl has never even been in the same room as a drug.

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

Hot damn

 

[Onetrickpony]

If this proves true she's done in the UFC.

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

What are the odds that it is something like BJ Penn where it was from using an IV?

 

[SlapheadGiraffe]

Beat me to it!

USADA has informed Cristiane “Cyborg” of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition test on 12/5, per UFC.

 

[Yossarian]

That explains a lot.

 

[Pitbull9]

Well there goes me defending her fucking ass. B*tch

C'mon man. -

 

[nuraknu]

They are probably really glad they left her out of the title picture for now.

 

[Yossarian]

What are the odds that it is something like BJ Penn where it was from using an IV?

If we consider her past, highly unlikely.

But maybe she can do the Romero thing. This may just go away.

Bummer. Doesn't look good, but I'm a fan. I'll hold judgement until we find out more details...

Ugh

 

[Judobill]

Wow, who would have thought she was on anything?

I hope it doesn't wind up being a diuretic. It'll turn into a whole other thing if is. With USADA and their "potential" violations, who knows?
Wasn't Machida's thing something that turned out to be nothing?

 

[Venum Shill]

This is a great thing

Cyborg would never fight anyone of significance and could always give an excuse

At least now we can move on and progress the division

 

[ECC170]

Fk it, send her to Rizin to decapitate Abby weighing 200

 

[sparkuri]

Hence, why she's not fighting for the title.

 

[sparkuri]

If this proves true she's done in the UFC.

There's no way in hell they let her go to Bellator, they will hold on to her contract.

 

[Onetrickpony]

There's no way in hell they let her go to Bellator, they will hold on to her contract.

But she will forever reside in invicta.

Statement on Cris Cyborg's potential anti-doping violation from Ray Elbe on The UG:

“Not for a steroid, and she has a prescription as part of the post fight therapy she’s been receiving due to the severe weight cut.

"This has been known for a few days, and Cris doctor has been in direct contact with USADA turning over all the necessary patient files to document the reasons Cris needs the medication.”
