Jon Jones issues statement on UFC 232 drug test: ‘I’m a clean athlete’
Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesJon Jones is in the middle of a drug testing controversy yet again.
The former UFC champion tested positive for trace amounts of Turinabol, which is the same substance he failed on back in 2017. USADA states that the small amount found on his system now, was likely just “residual amounts from his prior exposure” in 2017, which he was already sanctioned for.
The NAC still deemed they don’t have enough time to thoroughly investigate and wouldn’t license him, but since the CSAC would, the UFC moved their entire event to California.
Jones has since released a statement, saying he is a clean athlete.
