Jon Jones fast för doping

UFC-mästaren, Jon Jones, har återigen testat positivt vid en dopningskontroll. Den 30-årige amerikanen ska ha haft spår av det anabola-ämnet turinabol i sitt urinprov efter hans match mot Daniel Cormier på UFC 214.

UFC bekräftade dessa uppgifter under tisdagen, lokal tid, via ett pressmeddelande.

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Jon Jones of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an in-competition sample collected following his weigh-in on July 28, 2017.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Jones, as it relates to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy and future UFC participation. Under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) also retains jurisdiction over this matter as the sample collection was performed the day before Jones’ bout at UFC 214 in Anaheim, CA, and USADA will work to ensure that the CSAC has the necessary information to determine its proper judgment of Jones’ potential anti-doping violation.

Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.

Detta är andra gången Jones testar positivt vid ett dopningstest. Förra året stängdes han av i ett år efter att han testat positivt inför hans match mot Cormier på UFC 200. Matchen ställdes in med fyra dagar kvar till galan.

Visar även Jones B-prov samma resultat kommer han att stängas av mellan 2 och 4år.
