Jon Jones’ UFC 232 VADA drug tests come back positive for Turinabol, due to same ‘pulsing’ effect

Jon Jones has tested positive for a Turinabol metabolite again. But like the last few positive tests, he will not be punished due to what experts believe to be a “pulsing” effect that can see the metabolites stick around for a long, long time.

Jones was forced into completing a testing program under VADA around his UFC 232 fight with Alexander Gustafsson, and like a bunch of out-of-competition tests over the last few months, a few picograms of the long-term M3 Turinabol metabolite are still kicking around, according to the California State Athletic Commission (via MMA Fighting).
