Många har uttalat sig om Jon Jones och hans positiva dopingtest, som skall ha skett en dag innan han stoppade Daniel Cormier på UFC 214.
Jones arv har påverkats negativt av hans problem med att klara dopingtester, vissa spekulerar dock om att han kan ha fått i sig sterioden Turinabol via ett kosttillskott. Den tidigare UFC-mästaren Don Frye är en av de senaste inom MMA-sfären att uttala sig om Jones positiva dopingtest, detta gjorde Frye via Submission Radio:
Well, I mean, [Jon Jones] did it to himself, unfortunately. Something got caught. And not everybody gets caught but a lot more people do it than don’t, I’m sure. And Jon’s the greatest fighter to enter the cage but he’s just got a black cloud hanging over his head. He’s he’s gotta be free of, you know, he’s treading water but he’s got a couple of anchors tied to his ankles and it keeps dragging him down.
Frye spekulerar dock i att USADA kan ha satt dit Jones genom att kontaminera hans prov, detta spekulerar Frye i fritt utan att ha några bevis:
The problem with these drug tests is they catch who they want to catch. So, with that being said, it could be tainted. If they wanted you to be positive, you will be positive. [Jon Jones] is a hell of an athlete to make an example out of, right? […] He’ll be back unless he OD’s or gets in a nasty car wreck or something. He’ll just not, you know use the stuff before the fight. You know, it’s a part of his life, part of the recreational – hell, that’s his business until he runs into somebody who’s pregnant. Sh*t, he may not live long enough to come back in four years.
Det är osannolikt att USADA skulle välja att förorena atleternas tester, men hans åsikter för fram frågan om det bör vara ett tredje organ som övervakar USADA?
