Exciting news surfaced this month that Invicta FC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg had been cleared of her USADA anti-doping violation<\/a> stemming from a random out-of-competition drug test in December. While Cyborg was initially flagged for the potential doping violation, UFC President Dana White expressed his faith in the situation, stating that he believes Cyborg<\/a> will be the next challenger to the women’s featherweight title.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually when you submit a TUE, it\u2019s either granted, or it\u2019s denied, or it\u2019s denied and incomplete,\u201d Jacobs told MMAjunkie<\/a>. \u201cIn this case, the specifics of the questions they asked was a little out of the ordinary, and we\u2019re cautiously optimistic by the types of questions they asked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe drug that she had taken, she should have immediately let USADA know about it,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it\u2019s legit. She legitimately has these three separate issues, and that\u2019s what that drug is used for. The doctors are saying it, and it\u2019s looking good for her. I like it a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, with Cyborg cleared of all wrongdoing by USADA, the Invicta FC women’s featherweight champion spoke to MMAFighting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"UFC<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a tough time, but I knew I did nothing wrong, I had not cheated,\u201d Cyborg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost a lot of public appearances, I lost sponsors, during the two-month investigation. But I\u2019m happy, everything\u2019s great now, and I have to say thank you to my team, to my lawyer, thank you to Jeff Novitzky who works for UFC who helped me and my team go through everything in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really stressed about everything, because I did a mistake one time in my life, and then I learned a lot of things about this mistake,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd the one thing I learned the first time, just some people stay with you. This time, same thing. These are the people I really trust, who stay with me, and I appreciate everyone.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
