Jon Jones has proven how valuable he is to UFC – and they sure aren’t ready to let him slip away due to positive tests.
Jones was given what amounted to a 15-month suspension after originally testing positive for Turinabol in July of 2017. It has now been in his system for over 17 months, albeit in trace amounts.
Jon Jones has tested positive for a Turinabol metabolite again. But like the last few positive tests, he will not be punished due to what experts believe to be a “pulsing” effect. “Pulsing” effect was the excuse Novitzky came while on JRE for not banning Jones from competing against Gustafson:
“I spoke with the scientists,” Foster said. “They stand by their original statement. Nothing has changed. We’ve already punished Jon Jones for the M3 metabolite, which is a long-term metabolite. There’s no grounds to charge somebody twice for the same violation.”
Jones is currently scheduled to meet Anthony Smith in Las Vegas at UFC 235 in March. Jones has also said he has no plans to go after Daniel Cormier saying:
“Me going to heavyweight would be making it extremely personal,” Jones said during the UFC 232 post-fight press conference. “And for me, I have no problem with ‘DC’.
“I have a problem when he comes and says, ‘See I told you guys he’s a cheater. I told you he’s a cheater.’ I have no real problem with ‘DC’.
I know you are and that’s why It was a pleasure in the lead up to the fight with you and if we do it again it will be the same https://t.co/Py8FnuIxAV

Keep the money, more stringent drug testing and no excuses or mishaps and I’ll give 125,000 to charity in Lafayette and 125,000 to a charity in San Jose. You just pay for the drug testing! #cheater https://t.co/RqtHv1r7Ra
