Jon Jones was a very hot topic before UFC 232 Light Heavyweight title
fight versus Alexander Gustafsson. Few of his tests were positive on
Turinabol, an anabolic steroid.Let’s remember, Jones was already
sanctioned for Turinabol abuse following his win over Daniel Cormier at
UFC 214 on July 29, 2017, which was later overturned to no contest.
NSAC didn’t grant Jon Jones a license to fight, so the whole UFC 232
fight card was relocated from Nevada to California, because CSAC agreed
to allow Jones to step inside the octagon.Turinabol powder for sale
Jones was determined to prove his innocence, so he took part in
additional VADA testing. But guess what?CSAC executive Andy Foster said
he won’t take any actions versus the current Light Heavyweight champion
Jon Jones because he was already issued a 15-month ban for the same
substance in the past. Andy spoke with Sports Medicine Research and
Testing Laboratory (SMRTL) lab director Dr. Daniel Eichner, who said
there were no clean pieces of evidence or Turinabol re-ingestion.
The UFC Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance Jeff Novitzky
is not surprised because of the Jon Jones’ tests. Novitzky claims
experts told him that positive results might occur due to training or
weight cutting process.
Jeff Novitzky also issued one pretty much controversial statement. He
claims “Bones” won’t get an instant free pass to fight every time the
“incident” happens. Instead, commission plans to analyze everything
carefully to make sure Jon Jones didn’t ingest illegal substance.
Jon Jones is expected to defend his UFC Light Heavyweight belt versus
Anthony Smith at UFC 235, on March 2, 2019, in Las Vegas, Nevada. But he
needs to obtain NSAC fighting license first. “Bones” must appear on
hearing, which is set for next Tuesday, Jan 29th.
What do you think, will NSAC grant Jon Jones fighting license this time? Will this Turinabol affair ever end?
