Jon Jones has opted not to enroll with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA).
At a California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) hearing last week, Jones was granted his license to fight back following a doping suspension. During the hearing, one of the commissioners, Martha Shen-Urquidez, proposed to Jones that if he wanted to completely clear his name, he could join the VADA program. Jones gets tested and adjudicated by USADA, the UFC’s anti-doping partner, as well as athletic commissions. VADA has no financial tie to the UFC.
Jones and his attorney Howard Jacobs agreed in principle in the moment to enroll with VADA.
