    Apparently due to tiny traces from Jones positive test last year Nevada won't allow him to fight there,so they have to move card to the Inglewood forum

    So between the time he was reinstated until this latest failed test he presumably was testing within normal level but USADA says it's carryover from the last positive? I don't buy it and neither does the NVSAC. Anybody else pulls this **** and they're getting a pink slip immediately. It's gotten to the point where they might as well just let this sociopath shoot up before he enters the cage.

    LOL so now instead of banning fighters for doping they are moving it to a different state.

    UFC Alaska coming to town near you.

    I'm just waiting for Joe Rogan to try to spin this on his podcast: 'I don't think he cheated. He's just a wild guy who had some tainted dick pills. I think he's clean. Let the man fight! Let's party!'

    This sort of favoritism is pretty embarrassing for the UFC. Lyoto Machida got 2 years for admitting he unintentionally injested a banned substance, BJ Penn got sanctioned for consuming water incorrectly, Tom Lawlor and others faced outrageous punishments, but USADA and the UFC go to any length to cover for Jones.

    So he has pissed hot again a couple of weeks ago, but obviously who ever has yet to still perfect the blockers to make him seem clean same as last time...So USADA must now be getting a big slice of the PPVs to ignore it and UFC give him an instant green light to fight...what a ****ing joke...
    If it was left overs from 18 months ago it would of still showed up months ago not as soon as he ramps up training.

    The man is a horrible sports person. Passing drug tests is standard procedure in the life of an athlete and he keeps screwing up.

    Horrible sports person? He is a disgusting putrid excuse for a human..Runs into someone and runs away, comes back later to collect his drugs out of the car as that is all he is concerned with...Cheats on is wife during drug fueled party's..gets's high and drunk constantly in front of his young children etc.
    Then constantly lies and is in denial that he has done nothing wrong.

    UFC and USADA now giving him a Green light to juice for ever as they don't "understand the drug" . AKA as long as them blockers only let tiny samples out go fjuice them gills and keep handing over the cash AKA the agreement they made with USADA for him to co-operate...both USADA and UFC should be investigated with this bull****.

    The fact is Jones didn't fail another test and in no way should he be punished again for the same infraction,the Nevada commission is a joke and have been pushing there jurisdictional boundaries for a while now.
    All the relevant drug agencies notified the UFC that the tiny traces in Jones system were what was left in his system from the previous failed test Jones had just returned from suspension for,the amount in his system equated to "one 50-millionth of a grain of sand".
    Seems like so much hate for Jones if people really think the company is going to cover up and move a whole event on short notice without a good reason

    So it's just Jones haters, onya skippy...I was a massive Jones fan and kept giving him passes..
    He had traces of a prohibited substance again no matter what measurement but now it's ok with USADA after they did that deal $$

    What other relevant drug agencies tested his hot **** other than the one that now also gets a financial gain to have the card put in their state...Unless you now count UFC and Jones as agencies as well saying he is clean haha

    I will also give you a hint since i have been in testing programs previously regarding microsamples...depending on UFCs agreement with USADA they only will look for positive traces not go further in and look for blockers to cover what else was stacked if it doesn't show at first.

    As far as UFC to cover anything up...This is the same company that let Mctapper throw **** at buses and then use the footage to promote his instant title fight with zero punishment

    This story seems to still be very much in a state of flux, so if I'm mistaken or if new revelations are forthcoming, then ignore this. I'm definitely no fan of the NSAC, but from what I understand the NSAC refused to license Jones until the matter can be investigated further. USADA and CSAC both insist that extra deliberation is unnecessary. But USADA also says it has no idea why that 50 millionth of a grain of sand appeared eighteen months later and why not in earlier tests. They speculate that it might be some unstudied process called 'pulsing' which they admit they don't understand.

    Even though they don't understand how it works they're sure that its perfectly innocent and non-performance enhancing. I don't think you need to be a Jon Jones hater to think this all a little fishy.

    Although PEDs are cheating, I think any rationale fan can see the difference between cycling Testosterone or Steroids, compared to something like Panama Lewis removing the padding from Resto's gloves, or the Margarito situation. I don't think the people who are outraged, aka 'the haters', are mad because they think whatever amount of T-Bol Jones has in his system will translate into extra brain damage for Gus.

    I think people are more upset that CSAC, USADA, and the UFC are all going to extreme lengths to give Jon an assist after multiple violations and red flags while USADA has handed out outrageous punishments for 1st time offenders left right and center.

    The entire Brock Lesnar debacle surrounding UFC 200 pretty clearly indicates that USADA can be compromised. Factor in that Jones was tested zero times during the first 6 months of 2018 while Rashad Evans was tested 6 times and Frankie Edgar 5. Let me get this straight, Jon Jones, who has multiple failures for PEDs as well as for cocaine, is tested zero times while suspended for PEDs, while Kelvin Gastelum and Cynthia Calvillo, two pudgy Hispanic fighters who've only popped for herb are tested 3 times in that span. Brilliant...

    Seems suspicious but Dana is adamant all the experts are saying he is clean.

    UFC are due to lose 5 million from changing location.

    Looks bad for Jones though.

    There’s no way to tell how positive an impact this can have for Jones apparently as they don’t have time to investigate before the event. Whatever that means!

    Surely it’s dangerous for Gustafson to allow him in with someone potentially still experiencing the benefits of PEDs.

    What stinks is the UFC knew this was likely coming and should have had someone on prep to step in for Jones. But rather than that they’re moving state to keep him on the card.

    I love MMA but the UFC is going down in my opinion. Continuously pandering to a clear drugs cheat who should place in the organization.
