Flyweight competitor Isabela de Padua has been suspended for two years following a violation of the UFC’s anti-doping policy.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced the news on Thursday after the Brazilian accepted her sanction following a failed drug test. De Padua has only competed in the UFC on one occasion, when she lost a decision to Ariane Lipski this past November.
“De Padua, 28, tested positive for 19-norandrosterone (19-NA), the main urinary metabolite of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) and other 19-norsteroids following an in-competition test on November 16, 2019, where she lost by unanimous decision and an out-of-competition urine test conducted on December 19, 2019,” USADA officials wrote in a statement.
