Jon Jones passed USADA blood test the night of UFC 214

[Wild]

Jon Jones, the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion, passed a post-fight blood screening administered by USADA on July 29 in the aftermath of his victory over Daniel Cormier at UFC 214, MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani has learned.

The negative test was administered just one day after Jones’ infamous July 28 urine screening, which popped positive for the anabolic steroid Turinabol. It is nonetheless important to note that USADA blood screenings do not test for Turinabol, thus the July 29 test would not have discovered any trace of Turinabol in Jones’ system.

In addition, Jones passed a pair of out-of-competition USADA drug screenings on July 6 and July 7, the former a blood and urine test, and the latter a urine test.

It's irrelevant to his case and to our lives.

He's gonna get off Scott free. They've been laying the ground work for the public to consider reasonable doubt. Never mind what it says in the article about the test not screening for turinabol, most people skim and they saw that "Jon jones passed usada blood test"

 

[The Big Guy]

That blood test didnt test for turinbol or whatever so it dont matter. If sample B has that steroid too then hes fucked

Nah. He isn't fooling anyone anymore.

He doesn't have to fool the hardcores. They make up such a small percentage of sports fans. They just have to suggest he might be innocent on that scrolling shit at the bottom of espn and it registers that Jon jones is clean to the masses. And he is for sure dirty. Has been since day 1. But money talks and strange things will happen when there's a lot of it on the line.

Seriously though, why does it take so fucking long to get these tests back??
How long till we get the B Sample results? USADA is worse then the fucking DMV

I appreciate the effort but you're wasting your creativity on the wrong guy.

I remember reading that it would take 3-4 weeks from whenever they requested it, which was about 2 weeks ago?

please note that the sky is blue, the Pope is Catholic, and women have secrets.
We should have results back on the wetness of water in a couple weeks.

From what I'm reading about this it seems the fact he passed the blood test was leaked by his agent Malki Kawa. Usada is just responding to the story.

Quote from an mma junkie article:
""Eurich, however, cited Jones’ agent – presumably longtime rep Malki Kawa – as the source.

“Given that Mr. Jones’ agent has publicly commented on this case....”"

So, Jon's agent is just trying to muddy up the waters and confuse people regarding his tests. Makes him look even more guilty, imo.

I can't wait until one of the fan favourites runs into this problem and then I'm going to drop the guilty hammer all over him.......because it's going to happen and you know it.....can't wait

Im more excited for retesting of old samples. I remember hearing that usada keeps some samples and saves them for the future when they will be able to test the shit they cant test now. So if you are doing performance enhancers that currently cant be tested you can get caught in 5 years. That will be intresting to see who had tricks up their sleeve during usada era

Only a loser would wish a failed drug test upon a high profile fighter who's well liked just so they can have a selfish "AH HA!" moment.

Are they cheating and just not getting caught?

Not sure who "they" are but I'd assume many fighters use and don't get caught.
