UFC Legend Thinks Jon Jones Failed Steroid Test Wasn’t His Fault, Blames USADA

Dana White has lived in the city of Las Vegas for a long time.

Former UFC light heavyweight king Jon Jones is once again in hot water after failing a drug test prior to his fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 214. Jones defeated Cormier by knockout at UFC 214 and looked to finally back on track with his career.

However, Jones was flagged by USADA for steroids and after his second sample also came back positive for the same substance, his win was officially ruled a “No contest” by the California State Athletic Commission.

Given his history, most fans don’t have faith that Jones was actually a clean fighter, but UFC legend Don Frye believes this could all just be a way to teach Jon a lesson and make an example out of him.

Fry talked to Submission Radio earlier about the situation with USADA.

“Well, I mean, [Jon Jones] did it to himself, unfortunately. Something got caught. And not everybody gets caught but a lot more people do it than don’t, I’m sure. And Jon’s the greatest fighter to enter the cage but he’s just got a black cloud hanging over his head. He’s he’s gotta be free of, you know, he’s treading water but he’s got a couple of anchors tied to his ankles and it keeps dragging him down.”

“The problem with these drug tests is they catch who they want to catch. So, with that being said, it could be tainted. If they wanted you to be positive, you will be positive. [Jon Jones] is a hell of an athlete to make an example out of, right? […] He’ll be back unless he OD’s or gets in a nasty car wreck or something. He’ll just not, you know use the stuff before the fight. You know, it’s a part of his life, part of the recreational – hell, that’s his business until he runs into somebody who’s pregnant. Sh*t, he may not live long enough to come back in four years.”
