Cyborg fuking up

While UFC and U.S. Anti-Doping Agency officials have yet to reveal the substance or substances responsible for the flagging of Cristiane Justino’s recent out-of-competition sample, a rep for “Cyborg” insists the team is already working to clear the fighter’s name.

“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,” Justino rep Ray Elbe wrote on the popular MMA message board The Underground. “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.”

Central to Justino’s argument, Elbe said, is the difficulty the Brazilian-born slugger found in a pair of 2016 weight cuts down to 140 pounds, which saw Justino pick up victories over Leslie Smithand Lina Lansberg.

“Cris had issues with her kidneys and blood pressure, and that’s part of a prescription she’s been seeking for therapy,” Elbe wrote. “Cris doctor works with several Olympic and UFC athletes who are also under USADA testing and this was part of the treatment given to her the Monday after the weigh-ins.


“Cris has not misused the prescription and has been assisting USADA with every request. I’m not a doctor, and so I don’t know the specifics of the prescription and the treatment purpose of each ingredient, but this treatment process is the reason Cris turned down a fight Feb. 11, as her doctor said the three cuts in eight months were damaging her body.

“I suspect her doctor (will) speak to the media about the specifics eventually.”

Cyborg is trying to be a 30 for 30

She learned English, is super dynamic, has a friendly inviting smile and non fighting demeanor but damn girl how many asterisks are you trying to attach to yourself

Ian Kidd (from Bloody Elbow) posted this regarding Cyborg. He says her teams claims are not adding up:

'Her team has claimed she failed because of a drug called spironolactone, which she allegedly was prescribed the Monday after her last fight.

Previously she claimed that on that same Monday she was unable to have blood drawn. Spironolactone is a powerful diuretic. There is no good reason for a doctor to prescribe a powerful diuretic to a severely dehydrated person.

Additionally, Cris and her team have complained multiple times that the birth control medication she used during her cut caused her problems. The drug in that birth control, drospirenone, is chemically similar to spironolactone and works in an almost identical way as it related to diuresis. Drospirenone is a milder drug than spironolactone, though, and is less taxing on the body.

If drospirenone caused her problems, why is her doctor prescribing her a more powerful version of drospirenone to "fix" those problems? That doesn't make any sense.

Lastly, her reps claim her doctor works with several UFC athletes and Olympic athletes. If that's the case, why did the doctor not inform her she requires a TUE when spironolactone is specifically listed as a banned diuretic in the prohibited list, and has been for years?

Either that doctor is about to lose her medical license, or someone on Cris's team isn't being honest about something.'

Looks like Cyborg is guilty.

And this was her first random out of competition drug test under USADA:

Brehs...who's the best black striker in the UFC?



I bought UFC 2 so that way I can talk more UFC in 2017 with at least the knowledge of who is who (right now, I maybe know 5-7 UFC fighters in total), but I need a fighter to stan...preferably one with great striking ability since Ima a Boxing Fanatic
