Jessica Penne Fundraising Campaign Launches to Fight USADA (Sherdog Poster Drops $1,000)

[ReadWrite]

One day after revealing her struggles with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, Jessica Penne is turning to the public to help aid her battle against the UFC’s official anti-doping partner.

With Penne (12-5 MMA, 3-1 UFC) facing a potential four-year suspension for what USADA has labeled a second infraction of the UFC Anti-Doping Program, the former Invicta FC atomweight champion and onetime UFC strawweight title challenger Friday revealed she doesn’t have the money it would take to battle the agency in court and said the sanction would essentially end her career. Now her reps at SuckerPunch Entertainment have launched a GoFundMe campaign in an effort for Penne to have her day in court.

I am setting up this campaign on behalf of my client, Jessica Penne. Jessica is a UFC strawweight who has been wrongly suspended for the last 3 years by USADA for claims that are proven invalid. She served the suspension but again has been accused of a violation in which her along with the help of the UFC have found to be a mistake. She spent all of her remaining savings on the testing of products to fight and prove her innocence which paid off (as the tests came back in her favor). She now has all of the paperwork that proves her innocence but is left in the position to have to fight USADA head on in court. This campaign is set up to help raise the money to cover the legal fees and save her career before it's too late. From here at SuckerPunch Entertainment we thank everyone for their support and we are ready to fight this and get her back in competition.

Thank you,
Team Penne​

Penne’s campaign has an initial goal of $40,000, an amount she indicated in her initial statement she believes it will take to cover the legal fees necessary to prove her case.

I don’t think Penne will beat USADA

People are starving and dying and this idiot donates 1,000 for Penne to wipe her tears with.

You put a grand into a gofundme for a roidy fighter while the world is on fire...?



Also, why tell us your real name?

 

[Jimmy McGill]

it feels good when you call something and it happens, knew as soon as I read the open letter she was fishing for a go fund me, there are some folks in real trouble in your own town or city and anyone that donates even a $ to Penne needs a punt to the gonads

Time to get a real job!

So she's been suspended for 3 years.
And has been scheduled to fight and backed out due to injury during that time.
How's that work?

Are we sure that’s the goal? She kinda looks like Sarah Jessica Parker, or a horse.

She should go back to that gym and beg for her boxing instructor job back.

Go fight in Japan or Europe or get on the pro grappling circuit(yes, I know this is small)

USADA by having better lawyers.

When he realized Australia is on fire and he gave his money to a lost cause:

Considering how the avarage sherdogger should look like, id say thats still miles above his league


@ReadWrite by the way.... where does it say a sherdogger donated 1k? I read your post but there is nothing about that

 

[bigconan]

Time to get a real job!

all she has to do is go fight in another country...like one championships. being suspended here would not matter in another country.

 

[Yungrich]

Suckerpunch entertainment? The company that made infamous on the ps3 is representing her? Strange but okay

"Sherdogger donates 1000$"

 

[TR1]

I mean it sounds like she got a really bad string of luck and I feel bad for her, but at the same time, am I supposed to be that upset someone had to drive for Lyft?

There are millions of people doing that these days.

It's not hard labor in a mine.
