UFC women’s strawweight Iasmin Lucindo has been hit with a nine month suspension by CSAD (Combat Sports Anti-Doping) following a failed drug test.

In a recent press release, CSAD officials announced that Brazil’s Lucindo (18-6), 24, had tested positive for mesterolone, a substance banned at all times by the UFC’s Anti-Doping Policy as administered by CSAD.

Lucindo’s positive test dates back to an out-of-competition sample collected on September 24, 2025, in Feira de Santana, Brazil. Her suspension is backdated accordingly.

Documentation provided by Lucindo revealed the possibility of a contaminated supplement, per the CSAD’s press release. Lucindo tested negative in August 2025, with low levels of mesterolone turning up in her September sample. The fighter was able to provide investigators with official government documentation from a Brazilian pharmacy where she obtained compounded dietary supplements.

The circumstances surrounding Lucindo’s positive test saw her period of ineligibility reduced from a possible one year, to nine months. She’ll be eligible to return to action on June 24, 2026.

Lucindo had been booked into a fight with Gillian Robertson in September, but was pulled from the bout as a result of the adverse finding. She’s 5-1 in his last six fights, and coming off a victory over Angela Hill. She currently sits ranked #7 in the 115lb division.
