Weeks ago, MMA fans were sidelined by the news that Jon Jones was flagged by USADA for a potential doping violation during his UFC 214 title fight against Daniel Cormier. New information has released, and according to MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani, Jones passed a blood test that was administered by USADA the night of UFC 214.
The important question is, does this news change Jones’ situation? The answer, unfortunately, is that it does not.
Jones’ tested positive for Turinabol, an anabolic steroid that can be digested orally. The question remains, how could Jones fail one drug test, only to pass the other?
