USADA has confirmed that both the A sample and B sample of Jones’ drug test came back positive for the steroid known as Turinabol. Jones isn’t the only fighter to speak out in his own defense, as longtime teammate Frank Lester has stated the whole situation has been a set up from tꦑhe beginning.
Once punishments are handed out by USADA and the CSAC, the former champion could be facing a four-year suspensions from the spꦦort, since this is his second offense.
