Caught in an anti-doping test before UFC China, in November last year, Spider was preventively suspended and removed from the fight against Kelvin Gastelum.

The use of substances aims to improve performance. Anderson's situation becomes even more complicated for the trial. As it was already suspended in 2015, the hook could last up to four years out of competition. As a result, Spider would only be able to compete again at the age of 46.
Despite this, Anderson's defense is trying to have the Brazilian tried as a first-time offender, since the first time he was caught, the National Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the entity responsible for taking care of the UFC's anti-doping tests, was not responsible for control. anti-doping organization.
Even so, Anderson's defense is not betting on acquittal, but is hoping for a reduced sentence. If it is considered primary, the suspension would be 12 to 24 months. On the other hand, if the suspension is longer than two years, your retirement may be announced.

Synthetic testosterone has a similar effect to conventional steroids, however, with less risk of side effects. Diuretics are used to lose weight and mask the signs of other substances prohibited in doping.
