Is Jon Jones innocent?
So, this Jon Jones doping fiasco has been truly taxing on everyone involved, from the fighter himself as well as his camp to the UFC who are most definitely less than content about this turn of events. Jon Jones was set to redeem himself after a spectacular knockout victory over Daniel Cormier back in July. Unfortunately for Jones, redemption fell out of reach when he tested positive for a performance enhancer.
So with the positive test result it seems that Jon Jones’ fate was sealed. Fans lost faith and have even been questioning all of his spectacular performances in the past. “Did he look so spectacular because he was using juice?” It’s a question that will forever plague his legacy which is truly unfortunate.
But it seems that there’s still a glimmer of hope left for the former UFC light heavyweight champion. Jeff Novitzky, the head of anti-doping investigations for the UFC has recently stated his opinions on the Jon Jones doping scandal and whether or not the former champ was knowingly guilty of taking PEDs. Was it pure negligence or did he know exactly what he was taking? Take a listen to Novitzky’s opinion on the subject.

Tbol only shows up in blood tests which he failed. They are now touting that since he passed the piss test that he is somehow innocent and the result wrong, when the roid is not detectable in the piss test, only the blood test. Furthermore this particular steroid is not likely to just end up in a supplement, those days are over. No company is going to buy a super rare and expensive steroid and loose profit and risk getting in trouble just so they can lose money? There is no way he took that by accident.
so you think jones took the worse chit out here and did not know that if he stopped two weeks before the fight it would not show up lol no way he took that bullchit with his kind of money
Obviously he was trying to take a more obscure steroid. Only an idiot would take dbol or Decca before a fight, 1. They would be caught for sure, 2. It doesn't have as much athletic benefit. Tbol is better for athletics because it helps a ton with endurance and also is harder to detect. There is no way he took that by accident and no way he wouldn't have known if he had taken it. Do you think someone somehow slipped him a single dose, which would have fucked his natural test level before a fight and somehow he wouldn't have known or felt any different? If that's what you think then you obviously haven't thought this through.
You seem invested in the demise of this man
I really could care less, I have nothing invested in anything but what seems obvious.
So much wrong in one post
Let's not forget Jones also failed for post cycle drugs in the past, I'm quite sure he didn't take those without taking a cycle first. Also I doubt some rogue element recently manipulated his blood test fail, say...oh so much is wrong if you want, but it's obvious he was on the sauce.
It was trianabol in his test,he passed blood and urine testing on the 7th of july,then failed post fight testing on the 29th.
Joe Sherick It's obvious to tell just looking at his physique. Before and after. It's like night and day. Its looks even crazier with the before and after pictures of Victor Ortiz on TRT.
white privilege. oh wait nevermind
Jon acts really white though. All his friends are white too. Most his fans are white. He’s from a white area. He’s ex is white. I mean homeboy is basically a white dude
tbol is the worse chit out no way he took oral and got caught you stop two weeks out and is would not show up pac man used it and never got caught

He might be, hard to tell. I'd like to see him fight again, he's def entertaining
Does anyone really care? Drugs don't make you a better martial artist and they don't give you the freakish physical gifts Jon Jones has. He'd be the best with or without them.
yep and thats what sucks about him failing the test. people will act like he wasn't
Amen
Yes but he did fail the drug test and to officially compete he has to follow rules.. Who knows there may be better martial artists out there fully loaded with steroids with all kinds of advantages with whom jon jones may not stand a fuckin chance.. Would you say he lost because of the other guy high on steroids... Noooo the other guy is a better martial artist..with added
The steroids just enhances his endurance, high oxygen intake, ferocious ness, aggresion and strength.
But he would beat jon jones with his skills. But these advantages does add up.. Minimizing genetic superiority.. Enhanced reach height or strength and endurance factors
Fucking hilarious man talk about ways of trying to break a person wow
Hmm how does a guy gets repeatedly failed in drug tests and gets away with it whatever the reason may be.. Whether it was deliberate or not.. How come other athletes don't get into these kind of mess? Maybe because they don't do it..
And this guys tries this stuff hoping it would wash out of the system just before the test.... And gets caught every once in a while.. .. I mean are you that stupid why can't you just stay away from that shit..
You have a medical staff, training staff dietician and what not.. Still.. You are in this mess... Makes no sense...
No one takes T-bol by accident.
Exactly my thoughts lol
