Iasmin Lucindo Accepts Nine-Month UFC Anti-Doping Ban, Eligible June 24, 2026

CSAD reduced the penalty after finding low-level, likely unintentional exposure consistent with contamination from a Brazilian compounding pharmacy.

Overview

  • An out-of-competition sample collected Sept. 24, 2025 in Feira de Santana, Brazil detected mesterolone, leading to her removal from a Dec. 13 bout in Las Vegas against Gillian Robertson.
  • CSAD issued a nine-month suspension under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, retroactive to the sample date, making Lucindo eligible to return on June 24, 2026.
  • Investigators said the evidence did not indicate intentional use and noted Lucindo’s full cooperation, which qualified her for a reduced sanction.
  • Testing showed a minimal concentration in September with negative results in August and October 2025, supporting a low-level exposure scenario that could not be definitively traced because some supplements were no longer available.
  • Official pharmacy records indicated potential inadvertent contamination from compounded products, and CSAD has sent the case to the Nevada Athletic Commission for separate adjudication.
