FROM MEXICO TO UZBEKISTAN
In 2019 she switched from representing Mexico and began competing for Uzbekistan. "I have decided to represent another country, which kindly opened their doors to me and gave me the chance to fight for my dreams and goals." (heraldo, 02 Jul 2019)

RIO DREAM OVER
In October 2016 she was cleared of all wrongdoing by the World Anti Doping Agency [WADA] after a positive test she gave at the 2016 Pan American Championships in Panama City, Panama, resulted in her withdrawal from the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Although initial analysis of the samples had come back positive, the International Fencing Federation [FIE] asked for further tests to be carried out at a lab in Cologne, Germany, with the results negative this time. "I will pick myself up and will fight to recover all that I lost." (wada-ama, 24 Nov 2016; espn, 04 Nov 2016; excelsior, 14 Oct 2016; Twitter profile, 13 Oct 2016)
