Jon Jones apologizes to fans, other fighters after UFC 232 switch-up

Jon Jones is trying to make it clear that the UFC 232 relocation is not his fault, but still empathizes with his fans and fellow fighters.

It was announced Sunday that Jones tested positive for a small amount of turinabol, the same steroid metabolite found in his system in August 2017 after a rematch with Daniel Cormier. Jones was eventually given a 15-month suspension by USADA, the UFC’s anti-doping partner, for that drug failure. In this situation, however, USADA has determined that the new positive result is a result of last year’s failure, and not a new ingestion, because it’s such a trace amount.
