Amanda Ribas on Wednesday received a two-year suspension from USADA due to a positive test for the banned substance ostarine in an out-of-competition urine sample.
In an official statement sent by the athlete to the press on Thursday, the Brazilian fighter vowed to be innocent and not to have consciously doped herself. However, Ribas reported that in tests on the supplements and medicines she consumed the banned substance found was clenbuterol, not ostarine.
Ribas’ full statement is as follows:
Recently the steroid ostarine was found in one of my examinations conducted by the USADA organization before my UFC debut.
