Jon Jones har stått inne i oktogonen vid tre tillfällen de senaste tre åren, och sist var han inplanerad att ta sig an lätt tungviktsmästaren Daniel Cormier under UFC 200. Jones testade dock positivt inför titelmatchen, och riskerar i dagsläget två års avstängning.
Detta hade Jons tränare Mike Winkeljohn att säga om hela situationen, via ”Submission Radio”:
I’ve always said no one beats Jon Jones but himself. That’s it. And he’s got many, many years to keep going and figure this out if he’s got the opportunity to and if it turns out that he’s able to.
I was pissed off at that situation in that he’s gotta be careful. We’ve gotta be careful. Everyone’s gotta be careful. Everything you put in your body, no matter who gives it to you, you can’t just take whatever, because you never know what’s in there, what it’s tainted with, what’s going to come up on a drug test.
I don’t think he would have done anything out of the ordinary to try to do a performance enhancer type situation, but what’s going on is apparently something’s tainted and hopefully that’s what’s going to come out here soon and then hopefully all this bad talk about Jon Jones will start going away and we’ll get him back to fighting.”
Everybody is getting on board and paying attention a little bit more, because these tests are popping up and it seems to be happening quite often that people are taking something that was made by a company that has some illegal stuff, and maybe they’re using the same machines to pack it. I’m not sure how it happens, but trace amounts are coming up.
With that being said, people just have to be really careful and just go back to eating normal diets and don’t take anything else but vegetables and meats and good food.
Sist vi såg Jones fightas var vid UFC 197, där han tog sig an och besegrade Ovince St-Preux via ett enhälligt domslut.
