Cris "Cyborg" Santos Tests Positive for Anabolic Steroids in California

Gina Carano on Cyborg's suspension for positive drug test >>>

Back when I fought here, I had rumors swirling around me for years that that was the case.

It kind of stung when I heard it. But I also know that we're all just human beings in this world and we all make mistakes. Sometimes we're getting bad advice from the people around us.

I think Cyborg's a phenomenal athlete without steroids and I think she should know that without thinking that she had to take anything.

Steroids can be not only a physical enhancement, but it's definitely a mental enhancement. Having that back-up of, "Well, I'm on steroids," that does make it quite unfair. If we all have to deal with the same mentality going into a fight, that's equal.

So it stung a little bit, but she's a human being. She's a great athlete. She doesn't need any of that.

She's going to have to deal with the repurcussions of having tested positive once in her career. I think that's going to be enough punishment for one human being. She's suspended,got her title taken away from her. I don't think she needs the rest of us fighters shoving it down her throat.

So I sympathize with her. I respect her still and I think she'll come back as a better athlete after she goes through this kind of hard time.

Gina Carano is pure class. But in my eyes, that loss to Cyborg only made Gina's stock go UP as a fighter, since she gave that dude a serious run for his money in there... right up until the very end of the round (when it was stopped). Even with the roids, Cyborg had a pretty competitive struggle with Gina.

I suppose it's not stinging Gina too badly, since she's gone to Hollywood now.
