While Cynthia Calvillo got a light USADA suspension for her positive marijuana test last December, the UFC strawweight ended up with a harsher punishment issued by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
The NAC revealed earlier in the week that Calvillo has been suspended nine months, three months longer than the USADA ban, which could be halved if she completed the USADA-approved drug awareness and management program. Considering the NAC ban is concurrent with the USADA ban, there’s practically no point in trying to reduce the USADA suspension.
Per MMA Fighting, “Calvillo was also fined $6,150 — 15 percent of her $41,000 purse — and will be required to submit a clean drug test before seeking relicensure.
