CSAC suspends Strikeforce champ for steroid use

According to a release by the California State Athletic Commission, Cristiane Justino Santos, the Strikeforce women’s featherweight champion has tested positive for steroids the day before her most devastating profession win.
The featherweight champion, also known as “Cyborg,” tested positive for the anabolic steroid Stanozolol, which is also called Winstrol.
The result of the fight held on the Dec. 17 Strikeforce show at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego has been overturned by the commission and ruled a no contest.
“Our primary concern is for the health and safety of fighters,” CSAC Executive Officer George Dodd said in a press release sent out on Friday.
“Anabolic agents and other banned substances put not only the users of those agents at risk, but their opponents as well. The commission simply will not tolerate their use.”
The test took place on December 16, the day before the featherweight champion knocked out the top competition for the title, Hiroko Yamanaka of Japan, in just a matter of 16 seconds.
