UFC have released a statement on their official website regarding Jon Jones testing positive for steroids after his weigh-in on 28th July, 2017 at UFC 214 in Anaheim, California.
The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Jon Jones of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an in-competition sample collected following his weigh-in on July 28, 2017.
USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Jones, as it relates to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy and future UFC participation. Under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) also retains jurisdiction over this matter as the sample collection was performed the day before Jones’ bout at UFC 214 in Anaheim, CA, and USADA will work to ensure that the CSAC has the necessary information to determine its proper judgment of Jones’ potential anti-doping violation.
Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.

He’s some retard ?
Like he got caught before for it why do it again ??
Why has this all of a sudden come up 3 weeks later? Didnt think it took that long because Kelvin got busted 2 days after Belfort fight.
Nowadays, they do well in hiding the fact that they are on PED’s.
Masking agents are an amazing thing!
Makes sense. Brock lesnar and Belfort were revealed after ghe fight.
