The difference here is how the two handled the situation.Ortega is a proven drug cheat too. The same people that bash Cyborg should all bash him and put him under the same kind of scrutiny for the rest of his career. Just sayin...
Ortega immediately took responsibility for the failed test. And to be frank, looking at him today, one of the reasons no one is accusing him of PED's after last nights performance is because he doesn't look like he is using PED's. BTW, Ortega will still always face scrutiny (and rightly so), he just bought a lot of goodwill by owning the deed immediately.
Justino was not as forthcoming in 2011 and took a long time to own up to the actions. She handled the situation last year much better, and should be given props. But unlike Ortega, Cyborg still looks unnatural, that is just a reality. I am not suggesting that the eyeball is conclusive, but it is going to influence subjective opinion.
And I find it really disturbing that her stablemate, Gabi Garcia, is another freak of nature that transformed into the hulk in a relatively short period of time. What are the odds of the same camp have two female fighters looking like that naturally. Pretty astronomical if you ask me.
Is that fair? Probably not... but it is common sense...
