Sarah Frota was hit with a two-year suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency after testing positive for steroids. But she won’t sit out during that suspension.
Frota was released by the UFC after losing two octagon bouts and failing a drug test for stanozolol metabolites – 16α-hydroxystanozolol, 3’,16-dihydroxystanozolol and 4β,16-dihydroxystanozolol – on July 27, the day she lost to Gillian Robertson at UFC 240.
Frota told MMA Fighting she can’t afford to be sidelined for 24 months without making money through fighting.
“I have to work and pay my bills,” she said.
