UFC 232 VADA Test Reveals Trace Amount of Same Steroid Metabolite in Jon Jones’ System

Jon Jones continues to have trace elements of the steroid Turinabol show up in his system.

According to multiple reports, Jones tested positive for the long-term oral Turinabol metabolite that has shown up in multiple screenings since the light heavyweight champion’s failed drug test for the same substance in July 2017. The latest example occurred during an in-competition VADA test conducted in relation to UFC 232. The positive sample was collected on Dec. 28. However, additional tests after the one in question have since come back clean, including one on fight night.
