Bellator’s Scott Coker made it a point to personally contact California State Athletic Commission executive Andy Foster, following the CSAC’s decision to license Jon Jones for UFC 232. The once-again light heavyweight champion was cleared to compete on just a week’s notice by the commission, after a series of USADA drug tests turned up trace amounts of Turinabol metabolites — which had caused the Nevada Athletic Commission to block his participation in the fight card’s original Las Vegas location.
It’s a decision that’s come under a lot of scrutiny in the time since. Initially, only one of the ‘pulsing’ incidents was reported by the UFC to Foster and the rest of the CSAC.
