Strawweight Cynthia Calvillo will be able to return to action soon after testing positive for marijuana at UFC 219.
USADA announced on Wednesday that Calvillo received a six-month suspension for her anti-doping violation. That suspension can be reduced to three months if she completes a USADA-approved drug awareness and management program.
According to a release, “Calvillo officially tested positive for carboxy-THC, the pharmacologically-active metabolite of marijuana and/or hashish, above the decision limit of 180 ng/mL, stemming from an in-competition sample collected on December 30, 2017.”
At a minimum, Calvillo will be suspended until March 30 if she completes the program.
