Cristiane Santos (Cyborg) has appeal denied

The California State Athletic Commission on Monday denied an appeal by former Strikeforce women's featherweight champion Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos to have her one-year suspension reduced.

Santos' license was suspended by the CSAC when her prefight urine sample came back positive for stanozolol metabolites shortly after she defeated Hiroko Yamanaka on Dec. 17.

As a result of Santos' positive drug test, the fight's outcome was changed to a "no contest," she was fined $2,500 and stripped of her 145-pound title.

Santos sat before members of the CSAC on Monday in Sacramento, Calif., in an attempt to have her year-long ban, which was applied retroactively to Dec. 16, cut to six months.

During the hearing Santos admitted the error of her ways.
"I made a mistake," said Santos, who has professional record of 10-1 with one no contest. "I do not condone the use of performance-enhancing drugs in MMA."

Cyborg is a beast and this certainly doesn't take anything away from her fighting, but it does cause a black mark I guess. At least it wasn't for test or something similar. I can live with a fighter failing for winny since they've gotta make weight

Shes awsome to watch fight. I think they should let em all juice. All pro sports. Now that would be something to see

AMEN, and they all still do especialy in the offseason im sure, and especialy HGH , i still cant believe they are testing for hgh now in the nfl

but yeah no one gives a shit if they all juice, its the media who are the dorks that got picked last in gym class if even getting picked at all who are making the fuss, its their way of sticking it back to the jocks. I truely believe this

I would love to see everyone juice, people are always going to do it so why not just let them and have an equal playing field. Then if someone doesn't want to do it, that's their own damn fault.
