I was quite surprised to hear USADA had granted Cris Cyborg a retroactive TUE for her spironolactone use, since USADA’s official policy appears to rule it out. Her use was for a chronic (not acute/emergency) condition, and she had time to apply for a TUE, but didn’t. That would seem to rule her out of receiving a retroactive TUE under the rules on USADA’s site.
It turns out that the official USADA policy for TUEs doesn’t apply to UFC athletes. As part of USADA’s deal with the UFC, athletes who fight for the promotoin don’t have to meet the same standards as other athletes overseen by USADA.
