Jon Jones manager Malki Kawa medverkade nyligen under Chael Sonnens podcast ”You’re Welcome”, där han pratade om Jones dopningsskandal då Jon testade positivt på två östrogenblockerare inför titelmatchen mot Daniel Cormier. Enligt Kawa så har Jones ofrivilligt fått i sig substanserna genom kosttillskott, och detta hade han att säga:
If somebody takes something that they are not supposed to take and they knowingly do so, you got a product, at the end of the day, if I’m taking steroids, I know what I’m taking. If I’m taking estrogen blockers, I know what I’m taking. If I’m drinking alcohol, I know what I am drinking. Right? This is the problem with the whole system.
This is like saying, and I might get ripped for this tomorrow, but If you’re a girl at the bar, alright, and you have your drink there and guy comes and sits next to you and he slips something into your drink and you get raped, well, sweetheart, you should have been watching your drink.
That’s exactly what you tell anybody who says, ‘Wait, I didn’t do this, I’m not a cheater, I got all these blood tests I’ve done so far that prove I’m not cheating, and now all of a sudden I’m cheating? Wait a minute, I didn’t cheat.’ It has to be somewhere.
Yoel Romero’s case, okay, these guys had no clue that the substance they popped for was in there supplement. It just doesn’t happen to my guys, it happens to everybody. They didn’t know it was in the supplement. That guy is not a cheater, I don’t care what anybody says. Now, is he responsible for what he puts in his body? Absolutely.
Jon riskerar i dagsläget två års avstängning, och när vi får se honom fightas igen återstår att se.
