The Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) believes it acted in an ethical and appropriate way while collecting a urine sample from Jose Aldo in June.
In a statement released Tuesday, CABMMA COO Cristiano Sampaio defends the actions of his organization that were detailed in a report from Drug Free Sport to the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) and said that if CABMMA's version of events were put forth, Drug Free Sport's "image and credibility" would be "severely compromised."
In the report from Drug Free Sport COO Chris Guinty to NAC executive director Bob Bennett, Guinty wrote about dubious behavior from CABMMA, including a CABMMA doping control officer asking Aldo, the UFC featherweight champion, for his autograph and a photo after collecting his urine sample.
