Mirko Cro Cop Says His Two Year USADA Suspension Was Not Fair

August 9, 2016 | Posted by Larry Csonka

– Mirko Cro Cop appeared on the MMA Hour yesterday and spoke about his USADA suspension. Cro Cop admitted to growth hormone use in November. And was then given a two-year suspension from USADA, even though he never failed a test

“The whole thing that happened with USADA, it just isn’t supposed to happen. It just isn’t supposed to happen. I could be warned. I could be, at the end of the day, suspended a few months. Six months, whatever. But when your test comes completely negative and you suspend that person for two years, the same sentence like some other fighters who was caught after the fight, so they did the fight under doping, under prohibited substances that was found in their body. And they get the same suspension? That isn’t justice.

They were caught after the fight. So they put the money in their pocket, they fought, they earned the money and they get the same sentence like I did. It’s not fair. But let’s not talk about it anymore. I just had to mention it. From my point of view, that is not justice.”
