Sarah Frota suspended two years by USADA for positive steroid test, released from UFC

Sarah Frota is not a member of the UFC roster any more following a two-year suspension issued by USADA for a failed drug test in-competition for steroids around UFC 240. Frota, who was stopped by Gillian Robertson at the Edmonton event, had her fate announced in a release by the US Anti-Doping Agency yesterday:

“Frota Lima, 32, tested positive for multiple stanozolol metabolites, including 16α-hydroxystanozolol, 3’,16-dihydroxystanozolol, and 4β,16-dihydroxystanozolol, as the result of an in-competition urine sample she provided on July 27, 2019 at UFC 240 Edmonton, where she lost by technical knockout. Stanozolol is a non-Specified Substance in the class of Anabolic Agents and prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.
