Jon Jones wants everyone to know that banned substances or not, he’s no cheater.
On two separate occasions in the past few years, Jones has received suspensions from the United States Anti-Doping Agency as a result of positive drug tests announced in July 2016 and August 2017. These incidents have left an indelible stain on one of the most successful MMA careers of all time.
In both instances, Jones and his team argued that the now 31-year-old fighter was the victim of tainted supplements. He was stripped of an interim light heavyweight title after the first violation and handed a one-year suspension, then saw a light heavyweight title win over Daniel Cormier overturned to a no-contest and a 15-month suspension dealt to him for the second violation.
