Bisping: Novitzky said Turinabol could be in Jones’ system for a long time then ‘lo and behold, he tests clean’

Jon Jones’ clean UFC 232 drug test isn’t exactly getting the kind of response he may have expected. After months of undisclosed testing that returned positives for “picograms” of Turinabol, Jones came back clear for all USADA and California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) samples collected ‘in competition’ for his latest return to the Octagon, on December 29th.

But, all that only came after the UFC was forced to move their planned Las Vegas event to Los Angeles, because the Nevada Commission (NAC) was unwilling to accommodate what the UFC and USADA described as a “residual effect” from Jones’ past Turinabol ingestion.
