Manuwa on Jones’ failed drug test: ‘I think it’s all dodgy mate’

UFC light heavyweight Jimi Manuwa thinks the controversy surrounding Jon Jones’ failed drug test is very shady.

It came as a massive blow to UFC 200 when Jon Jones was pulled from his main event slot with Daniel Cormier after failing a random, out-of-competition drug test conducted by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.

‘Bones’, who was scheduled for a light heavyweight title unification bout with ‘DC’, tested positive for Hydroxy-clomiphene, an anti-estrogenic agent, and Letrozole metabolite, an aromatase inhibitor.

The former pound-for-pound No. 1 released an emotional statement to the media, stating that he would never knowingly taking performance-enhancing drugs.
