Just two days after Germaine de Randamie’s unanimous decision victory over Holly Holm to win the inaugural 145-pound title at UFC 208, Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino — the juggernaut of the weight class in every promotion she’s been in — had her provisional suspension lifted by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for testing positive to a banned substance back in December.
After a two-month investigation, Justino was granted a retroactive therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for Spironolactone, a physician-prescribed diuretic. Though the drug is commonly taken to mask the use of steroids, it was determined that Justino was treating a “common endocrine disorder” by USADA, and was therefore granted the retroactive TUE.
