UFC Newcomer Fails Drug Test
Strawweight newcomer Carol Foro failed a drug test, resulting in the cancellation of her UFC debut fight. Foro and her team confirmed the positive test as the UFC enforces its strict anti-doping policies.
- The positive test was for a diuretic in an out-of-competition sample collected on January 6th. Foro's team has claimed the substance may have come from a contaminated supplement and has sent the product for laboratory analysis. - Foro was scheduled to make her UFC debut against Stephanie Luciano at UFC Seattle on March 28. - Alexia Thainara has been signed as the new opponent to face Luciano on the Seattle card. - Foro earned her contract with the promotion by defeating Shanelle Dyer on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2025. - The UFC's anti-doping program is administered by Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD). - Recently, another UFC strawweight, Iasmin Lucindo, received a nine-month suspension from CSAD after testing positive for a banned substance. Her suspension was reduced from a potential year after she provided evidence of a possible contaminated supplement. - Standard suspensions can vary; for example, Conor McGregor accepted an 18-month sanction for three "whereabouts failures" in a 12-month period, which was reduced from a standard 24-month period due to his cooperation.
