There is great controversy when it comes to Jon Jones and anti-doping test, but this time it was different. The California Athletic Commission (CSAC) announced on Thursday (10) that 'Bones' was negative in anti-doping tests at UFC 232. The information was given first-hand by the website of the North American channel ESPN.
Drug tests were carried out in Inglewood the night Jones won Alexander Gustafson and regained the light heavyweight belt. Samples from tests carried out by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) did not indicate any prohibited substance, not even the turinabol metabolite.
Remembering that UFC 232 was moved from Las Vegas to Inglewood after CSAC denied the license for 'Bones' to fight. This occurred after a drug test found residue of the banned substance tourinalbol in Jones' body.
With the tests cleared, Jones is free to return to fight in the UFC. Thus, the confrontation with Anthony Smith at UFC 235, March 2, in Las Vegas.
