Jon Jones claims he “never took steroids.”
The former UFC heavyweight champion, who also held hold at 205 pounds, has failed multiple drug tests throughout his career. He was first pinched ahead of UFC 200 after testing positive for Clomiphene and Letrozole, then ended up back on the hot seat when he flunked for Turinabol at UFC 214, changing his victory over Daniel Cormier to a “No Contest.”
Then came the picogram fiasco ahead of UFC 232.
“Never took steroids,” the 39-year-old Jones said in an interview with ALF Global (transcribed by MMA Junkie). “It was a supplement found in my body. It was proven to come from a supplement company that I was using. It was a tainted supplement that I was using. The amount of this substance that was in my body was so small that it took very expensive scientists to be able to even find it, and the supplement that was found in my body has zero performance-enhancing effects – zero. And that’s very well documented. For some reason, the fans ignore all that, and they’re like, ‘Something about steroids, he’s guilty.’ I never did, and that was proven. It’s funny because fighters are like, ‘Jon Jones is a knucklehead, but he’s brilliant enough to do steroids and trick the UFC’s scientists.’ It’s like, which one is it? Am I the knucklehead or the mad genius, who somehow got away with using steroids?”
Judging by the 15-month suspension he served after UFC 214, it’s clear he didn’t get away with it.
Jones had a laundry list of excuses following every positive drug test, with the exception of cocaine, which he readily admitted to using. For UFC 200, it was gas station dick pills. At UFC 214, it was a tainted supplement. At UFC 232 (and then again at UFC 235), it was picogram pulsing. He wasn’t the only fighter with pulsing issues, but Jones always got special treatment.
Jones (28-1, 1 NC) remains under contract with UFC but has no immediate plans to compete.
Jones is an innocent man!
Most of the old pioneer and Pride era guys are honest about it.
Even Ken Shamrock admits it now even though he basically denied it in his first book.
Jones spends a lot of time attempting to whitewash and pad his legacy.
He’s full of shit.
If it was “proven” why is the DC No Contest still the official record?
Of course he doesn’t.
He’s waiting for the next sure thing.
I’m probably one of the only Jones fans on here.
He obviously was taking peds, you don’t fail multiple tests for years if you’re clean. That being said most of his opponents were on the juice too so I don’t really care, I think the juice should be legal.
He beat so many guys obviously on juice Gane, Sonnen, TRT vitor, Machida, Rampage etc
So he hid under a ring for 8 hours to avoid the testing proctor because he was clean?
What’s next, GSP never took roids?
Jon Jones snitched to get a shortened sentence.
“Jon Jones was labeled a “snitch” in 2018 after receiving a reduced 15-month anti-doping suspension from USADA because he provided "substantial assistance”.
Such a pussy
Putting steroids in quotes is how he got off with the Nevada AC
Shame on all of you for taking so long to post this
Or this
lol @ allegedly Drugsboat Jon and these alleged lying fools.
Considering how the human body works, it is highly unlikely that he was pulsing without using and if he was dumb enough to use unvetted supplements then, well, FAFO.
guilty and im op , he has 2 other bloods in NFL too
damn youre eloquent when you want to be lol
