Amanda Lemos is the latest fighter to be suspended by USADA for a UFC anti-doping policy violation.
USADA suspended the women’s bantamweight athlete two years for testing positive for the steroid stanozolol and its metabolite, stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected Nov. 8, 2017, the UFC’s anti-doping partner announced Wednesday. Lemos won’t be eligible to fight again in the UFC until November 2019.
Lemos (6-1-1) made her UFC debut at UFC Glasgow last July. The Brazilian fighter fell on that card to Leslie Smith via second-round TKO. Lemos, 30, was undefeated heading into that bout, a rising prospect coming from the Jungle Fight promotion in Brazil.
