Cris Cyborg insults steroid scandal sympathizer and admirer Gina Carano
Tweet
In the wake of former Strikeforce 145lb. women’s champion, Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Santos, testing positive for steroid usage, MMA luminary and previous opponent Gina Carano, has magnanimously responded with: sympathy, compliments, benefit of doubt and well-wishes. While the scandal “stung” Carano (who “could’ve gone her whole life without knowing that news“) she responded with the following:
-“…that could just be somebody around her giving her bad advice.”
-“…She’s definitely a physical specimen who doesn’t need any performance enhancements, and still be as just as great as she is, maybe even better.”

One has to wonder if Cris Cyborg has any fans left as both her career accomplishments and character have undeniably been exposed.

*update
On Monday, April 9th, Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos was denied a leniency appeal to CSAC to cut her suspension time in half (6 months) by the Regulatory Board.(MMAWeekly.com)
That reduction attempt contradicts Santos’ initial statement on the matter.
“I am ultimately responsible for everything I put in my body, and at the end of the day, there is no excuse for having a prohibited substance in my system,” the disgraced fighter continued. “I do not condone the use of any performance enhancing drugs by myself or any other professional athlete, and willingly accept the penalties and fines that have been handed down to me by […]
