LAS VEGAS (AP) – Kinatigan ng U.S. Anti-Doping Agency si featherweight Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino na hindi lumabag sa policy violation nitong Biyernes, sapat para matuldukan ang ibinigay na ‘provisional suspension’ at muling makabalik sa UFC.

Nilinaw ng USADA, nagsasagawa ng doping policy sa UFC, na diuretic lamang at hindi streroids ang natagpuan sa samples ni Justino sa isinagawang test noong Disyembre.

Ang naturang gamot ay mula sa prescribed medication para sa kanyang endocrine disorder.

Matapos ang panayam at pagsusuri ng medical team, tinanggap ng USADA ang paliwanag at depensa ni Justino.

“The application for a TUE was granted because the athlete had an unequivocally diagnosed chronic medical condition for which the use of Spironolactone is the appropriate standard of care,” pahayag ng USADA.

Itinuturing isa sa pinakamatikas na fighter sa UFC si Justino (17-1).

“I am extremely happy that USADA took the time to carefully review the detailed TUE application that I submitted, and agreed that my use of the prescription has always been medically justified,” pahayag ni Justino sa kanyang Facebook page.

“I look forward to returning to the octagon as soon as possible, and proving that I am the Pound for Pound champion of (women’s MMA). I would also like to thank my fans for their continued support, who made a very difficult time easier for me.”
