Cyborg failed to disclose banned substance use until after positive test
I’ve been trying for several weeks now to get confirmation from USADA about the rumors that Cris Cyborg failed to disclose her spironolactone use when she was supposed to. Early this morning USADA communications manager, Ryan Madden, sent the following statement:
“Her use of the medication was not initially disclosed; but more importantly, once contacted by USADA, she immediately identified the medication as the source of her positive test, submitted all necessary medical information and demonstrated that it was being used for legitimate medical purposes without enhancing her performance. Those are the primary considerations when reviewing any TUE application.”
