Junior dos Santos: “I would never cheat”
Yesterday reports came out that former UFC heavyweight champion Junior “Cigano” dos Santos was pulled from his fight with Francis Ngannou at UFC 215 in Canada, due to failing an out-of-competition test done by USADA.
But ‘Cigano’ is not going down without a fight, he plans to fight the suspension and show that he was flagged due to tainted supplements. In a post on Instagram he sent a message to all of his fans.
“I’m not here to give an explanation,” Dos Santos said in his video post. “Soon, everything will be clear to all of you and no doubt – truth will prevail. I’m here in respect for all of you guys. I just want to say that this situation is very tough for me, my team and my family. And I would never cheat. It goes against everything I stand for. I play a fair game. We will get to the bottom of this, figure out what happened, learn from it and move on. And I hope in the near future, Francis Ngannou and me can face each other and give you guys the show you were expecting. For now, thank you very much for your support. It means a lot to me, and that’s why I’m here.”
