Stunning. Most had JJ as the #1 P4P fighter in the world. First Silva, now Jones. This sport is fucking dirty.
Easy to forget that Jones' last failed drug test also had strong signals that he was doping. http://www.subjectmma.com/explained-jon-jones-drug-test-scandal/
If it was a recreational drug, would he be considered in competition way back on the 16th of June? I think its a PED and its fairly obvious with his physique change, IMO. Even Chael made a comment about suspecting Jones of PEDs due to his increased physique.
Actually in competition for recreational drugs is not the same as for PEDs. In June he wouldn't have been tested for recreational drugs, so, PEDs. https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/4rmpux/per_usada_guidelines_in_competition_can_be_12/
Yah, thats what I meant, my bad. He was out of competition so they wouldn't have tested him for recreational usage. Jones got popped for PEDs. His career in the UFC is effectively over. What a waste of talent.
My expectations: -- Denies taking any PEDs, ever -- Will be challenging the results by testing the B-sample -- Insinuates or outright says he could've been more careful regarding his intake of supplements -- Vows to return stronger than ever -- Thanks friends, family, fans, the Jesus, and the UFC
I don't understand the need for an immediate press conference. Test the B-sample first. Malki Kawa seems to be a terrible manager.
Sherdog has a good shoop thread started. Epic Jones crying picture. speeds, I'm in class, can you give a run down of his press conference?
Denies taking anything to enhance his performance Doesn't take supplements/takes supplements/doesn't keep track (this was a mess) Doesn't know how he failed Apologized to DC Will continue with MMA even if he is given a full ban They are testing the b-sample
Jones is going to be the first ever interim champion to be stripped, IIRC Also the first fighter to be stripped twice? I'm not sure
