We all knew this news was coming, but it was just a matter of when.
Jon Jones has been temporarily suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his positive drug test that forced him out of his fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 200.
The Nevada Commission voted unanimously on Monday to suspend Jones pending a full hearing at a later date, most likely in late summer 2016.
According to the notes from the commission, Jones tested positive for hydroxy-clomiphene, which is an anti-estrogen drug listed on the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) banned substances list.
Jones also allegedly tested positive for a Letrozole metabolite, classified as an Aromatase inhibitor, another banned substance. Aromatase inhibitors are also classified as estrogen blockers, typically used for breast cancer patients.
Both drugs are listed on the WADA banned substances list as “hormone and metabolic modulators” and are not allowed at any time in or out of competition.
Jones is facing a two-year suspension pending the outcome of the hearing.
