Justino rep implores White to test 'Cyborg,' offers to step aside for Rousey fight (updated)

The rep for Cristiane Cyborg Justinohas an offer for UFC President Dana White: Test her, or be quiet.

Were willing to test anywhere, anytime, anyplace to prove that shes clean, George Prajin, who co-manages Justino with Bellator fighter Tito Ortiz, today told MMAjunkie. Hes being a little reckless by making these statements without verifying the facts.

Prajin defended Justino one day after White accused her of being on performance-enhancing drugs, comparing her appearance to former PRIDE champ and current UFC fighter Wanderlei Silva.

Shes done so many drugs her head is this big, White told reporters on Thursday. Does anyone really think she fights clean?

Prajin countered that Justino made one mistake, and vowed to never make that mistake again and said she now is a clean athlete.

Well do a blood test, urine test, a hair follicle test whatever it takes so [White] can say shes clean and for him to stop making these comments, Prajin said.

Prajin said in three fights since 2011, when her Strikeforce title was stripped three years ago by UFC parent Zuffa following a failed drug test for stanozolol, Justino has twice been tested and passed. (Invicta FC President Shannon Knapp confirmed the former champ was not flagged for banned substances in a pair of appearances for the promotion.)

I can guarantee you that knowing Cyborg and having worked with her for over two years now that she is not on drugs she does not use performance-enhancing drugs, Prajin said. The issue that she had was regarding a weight cut. Someone in her camp suggested she use something that turned out to be a banned substance. She paid her dues, and shes back on track.

A man can fail multiple drug tests and be allowed to fight back in the UFC. A woman fails one drug test, and shes labeled a drug user for the rest of her life? I dont see how thats fair.
