While many people are criticizing “cyborg” for the use of steroids in the fight with Gina Carano, Gina has a lot less to say. According to her she did not imagine that Christiane Santos was making use of steroids even when people around her were telling her that. It was the fight of her life that would have earned her an MMA title-one that marked the end of her career. You would have expected her to be the first accuser of Santos but while she was angry she continued heaping praises on the talents and skills of Santos. This is interesting, considering that she is the one who marked the end of her career in female martial arts.
Santos on the other hand blamed the positive steroid test on some supplements she was using for weight loss before the match. She tested positive in December 2011 in a match in which she defeated Hiroko Yamanaka. She managed to retain her title after that and then tested positive for winstrol. This was confirmed by the World Anti-Doping Agency Lab in UCLA. For that reason she was suspended for a year and stripped off her title. This also comes with a fine of $2500 by the California State Athletic Commission. Winstrol puts the safety of the athlete at risk, and this was the motivation behind her being fined and banned from the sport for some time. The fact that she also defeated the woman who was once the face of MMA puts her on the spotlight for all the bad reasons
Perhaps-you may say-Carano has had some consolation in Hollywood at the end of her MMA career and this is the reason she is not all upset (She was the female lead in the spy thriller movie”hawwire”.
Santos had managed to maintain a higher bodyweight and muscle mass all through the season and is not the only female fighter to find herself in such a predicament. She is in the company of carina dam who was suspended in 2008 for testing positive for Deca. Apparently men are even more likely to test for steroids than women as there have been tens of men in MMA who have tested positive for steroids.
Cyborg has been castigated by other female athletes, including the second best female MMA fighter, Ronda Rousey-who is on contention for her title. Her use of steroids makes Rousey, the number one female MMA fighter automatically. Winstrol is a steroid that is commonly stacked with anadrol. It is one of the best steroids in the market with regard to weight loss and the improvement of muscle mass. Still it should never been taken in large amounts for too long as it could lead to liver problems
