Alexander Gustafsson’s team says Jon Jones has ‘essentially received a use exemption’ after UFC 232 positive drug test

Team Gustafsson is not pleased with Jon Jones’ latest UFC 232 drug testing results.

MMA Fighting reported Wednesday that Jones tested positive for trace amounts of a longterm metabolite of oral Turinabol in a Dec. 28 sample collected by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) on the day of UFC 232’s weigh-ins. The VADA test results discovered that Jones had 33 picograms in his system of the same M3 longterm metabolite that was found in Jones’ system in three separate drug tests from August 2018 to early December, including a Dec. 9 drug test which prompted the UFC to uproot UFC 232’s entire event from Nevada to California on less than a week’s notice.
