Who would have guessed this isn't natural?
I’m not sure why I’m surprised, but I am. News today from the CSAS drug tests of the Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal event:
From the CSAC Press Release:
The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has suspended the license of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Cristiane Justino Santos, better known in MMA circles as Cris Cyborg, and has fined her $2,500 as the result of a positive test for a banned substance.
Santos’ December 16, 2011 drug test came back positive for stanozolol metabolites. CSAC learned of the test results December 23, 2011 and suspended Santos’s license, with the suspension applied retroactively to December 16, 2011. In accordance with Rule 368, the result of her last fight between Hiroko Yamanaka will be changed to a “No Decision”.
Strikeforce has stated that they are stripping Cyborg of the Women’s 145lb title and putting the division on hold as a result of the test. It really is unfortunate, as Women’s MMA is finally gaining some momentum. This is a black mark they don’t need and one less prominent division for women to fight at.
