UFC 200: What did Jon Jones test positive for? Almost certainly not cocaine

In light of the news of Jon Jones receiving notification of a potential USADA violation, Iain Kidd clears up what drugs Jones would have been tested for.

The first thought I had when I saw Jon Jones had failed another drug test was likely the same as yours; cocaine. As it turns out the violation is almost certainly not because of cocaine use, as the substance is not actually banned out of competition, and the failure was an out of competition test.

What many people don’t realize is that when Jones "failed" his previous drug test for cocaine, he actually received no punishment from the Nevada Athletic Commission, who ordered the test.
