Eddie Alvarez goes on rant about Jones’ failed drug test: He should have ‘zero’ drugs in his system

Jon Jones recently tested positive — again — for performance-enhancing drugs but, rather than being pulled from his light heavyweight championship rematch against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 232, the former light heavyweight champion has been licensed by the California State Athletic Commission to fight at The Forum in Inglewood, California. This after the Nevada Athletic Commission refused to sanction the fight.

Rather than being provisionally suspended (as is the case for all other fighters who test positive for PEDs) the UFC, USADA and Jeff Novitzky are trying to sweep Jones’ latest drug test under the rug by claiming that ‘Bones’ still has trace amounts of Turinabol left in his system from his previously failed drug test back in July, 2017.
