Yet another Jon Jones drug test controversy has arisen ahead of Saturday's UFC235 event.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission announced the findings Thursday and affirmed its belief that the tests do not reflect new drug use by the UFC star.
The commission believes the two positive tests conducted Feb. 14 and 15 uncovered residual results from the drug intake that resulted in a 15-month suspension for Jones in 2017. Tiny amounts of the same metabolite have periodically appeared in several tests taken by Jones since then.Jones received a one-fight license from the commission last month to face Anthony Smith this weekend.
