UFC’s Iasmin Lucindo Temporarily Suspended After Positive Steroid Test, Out of Dec. 13 Fight

Her team cites possible supplement contamination, with testing underway in Utah pending an NSAC ruling.

Overview

  • A late-September sample flagged metabolites of mesterolone, an anabolic steroid banned at all times under UFC rules.
  • Lucindo was pulled from her scheduled matchup with Gillian Robertson on Dec. 13 in Las Vegas.
  • The Nevada State Athletic Commission issued a temporary suspension and is overseeing the case because the bout was slated for Nevada.
  • Her representatives say tests in August and October were negative and deny any intentional use of prohibited substances.
  • Two suspect supplements have been sent to the SMRTL lab in Utah for analysis as she works with Drug Free Sports and the UFC, with a reduced penalty possible if contamination is verified.
