USADA releases statement on Jon Jones; Dana White says Jones popped for two banned substances

LAS VEGAS -- Jon Jones could know the result of his ‘B' sample by Thursday night, USADA officials confirmed with MMA Fighting. It's highly doubtful it will alter his standing with regards to UFC 200, per UFC president Dana White.

On Wednesday night, Jones was pulled from the main event of the card against Daniel Cormier after it was found out that he was flagged by USADA for a potential anti-doping violation. Jones failed an out-of-competition drug test from a sample that was taken June 16. USADA was notified Wednesday and immediately informed Jones and the UFC.
