Chael Sonnen guested on last night’s edition of Joe Rogan podcast. In a very revealing segment, the two discussed Jon “Bones” Jones’ USADA results.
Chael Sonnen reportedly went to the Jon Jones press conference are here are his reported takeaways from that experience:
“This is all speculative, but first… this doesn’t make Jon innocent. Jon’s guilty. They’ve got the samples (down) so he’s guilty but his actions are not those of a guilty man. Guilty guys bury their heads in the sand, they try to outrun this thing. They get with their legal team. They show up at the hearing they hope for the best they get the worst and they deal with it.
Jon faced the music 12 hours later. He came through the hotel, his whole life’s pulled apart right now. I imagine he didn’t even sleep that night…”
Sonnen continues:
“PR 101 says read the script that was written for you and exit the stage. (Jones) read no script, he answered questions and that’s just not what a guilty guy does.”
He went on to reveal Jones tested positive for 2 estrogen blockers.
“He tested positive for two estrogen blockers, there you go, I’m revealing it.”
Rogan said the test results could’ve been positive due to supplement use:
“This is what happened to Tim Means, Yoel Romero… When you run a supplement through a lab it turns out it has all sorts of other things there (besides what is says on the label) and that’s why it’s so effective. It is possible that could be the case. Jon has to give them all the supplements he was taking so they verify those.”
Rogan also explained estrogen blockers are commonly used when someone is going off of a cycle of steroids. Sonnen contributed
“All that an estrogen blocker will do if you up your testosterone then your estrogen will naturally go up and guys don’t want estrogen so if you’re a guy you take a blocker so you don’t get bitch tits.”
Sonnen is referring to medical disorder called gynecomastia.
Sonnen also declared he tested positive for the same thing. And he also took clomiphene to get back to normal. Sonnen here directs attention to something Jones said:
“He said I have not taken anything new and I have not taken my entire career. So somebody gave him a follow up question, he quickly realized what he just said. And he goes and says well I do have a new supplement company… “
Supplement company shortly dropped Jones after the press conference. After some more discussion Sonnen went on to claim:
“… I think of myself as kind of an expert in this field…”
welll.. Chael Sonnen did plead ignorance to a blood testosterone level 400 times larger than the legal limit several years back. He might as well have said he never noticed anything. He later claimed he suffered from hypogonadism and got a slap on the wrist with his 2500$ fine and a 6 month suspension. Lucky for him that was prior to UFC partnership with USADA.
