Interim UFC light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones has been suspended one year by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
Jones, 29, became the first UFC athlete to enter arbitration with USADA last last month, regarding sanctions for a failed out-of-competition drug test on June 16. An independent arbitration panel announced its findings on Monday and suspended Jones for the maximum length of one year.
The suspension is retroactive to July 6, the date Jones was pulled from a UFC 200 pay-per-view title fight against Daniel Cormier, which was scheduled for July 9 in Las Vegas.
