Jon Jones is back to his usual overconfident self after reports of a tainted supplement causing his failed UFC 200 drug test.
“We’ve been able to establish the source of the prohibited substances. It came from a product that Jon took that was not labelled with either of these substances. We had it tested, the product was contaminated with both of them. I know USADA also independently had the product tested; their testing confirms what we found. We then sent essentially the same pills that we had had tested to be tested by USADA’s lab, which also found the same thing. So pretty much every time it’s been tested, it’s shown that the product is contaminated with both clomiphene and Letrozole, the two substances (Jones tested positive for).”
Jones’ camp feels that this evidence will be enough to lessen Jon’s suspension and possibly clear it entirely.
“So Romero’s case similarly was a contaminated product case and the one difference between his case and Jon’s case is because of the substance involved in Yoel’s case, the maximum sanction was two years as opposed to the one year here. So the possible sanction range was between the same minimum of a warning but the maximum in his case was two years. USADA looked at it and we were able to come to an agreement that six months was the appropriate sanction in that case.”
Back to Jon Jones’ hubris.
Once these reports hit the internet Jon took to Twitter to send a message to his ‘haters’ and the UFC’s light heavyweight division.
That's right light heavyweight division, this means I got in that ass fair and square. I heard your interviews.
