CSAC: USADA’s process of handling Jon Jones’ UFC 214 drug-test failure ‘was a wreck’

From an incident that happened in July 2017, USADA was only able to come up with a decision regarding Jon Jones’ drug test failure last September. Through their arbitration process, the agency decided to slap “Bones” with a mere 15-month suspension, which originally merited a maximum of four years in the sidelines since it was a second offense in the UFC.

On Tuesday, the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) decided to grant Jones a temporary license, which ultimately clears him for his scheduled title rematch against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 232 late this month.
