Jon Jones’ B Sample USADA Test Results Are In, And It’s Not Pretty

Jon Jones just can’t seem to catch a break.

After testing positive for a banned substance in an out-of-competition United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) drug test, ‘Bones’ was removed from his colossal 205-pound title unification bout with Daniel Cormier in the main event of tomorrow night’s (July 9, 2016) UFC 200.

Jones was visibly upset at the press conference he and his management held the day after he was scrapped from the card, and remained adamant that he did not knowingly take anything that would jeopardize his title bout with Cormier.

The former 205-pound king and his team called for the B sample to be tested in hopes of it coming back negative and still possibly having a shot at fighting tomorrow (July 9, 2016), however, USADA spokesman Ryan Madden released a statement today that the B sample confirmed the illegal substances found in Jones’ system on the A sample taken on June 16th:

“I can confirm that Mr. Jones’ B sample results have been reported by the laboratory, and that the results confirm the findings of the A sample,” Madden said.

Jones can face up to a two-year ban from USADA, as well as separate punishment from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), which does not bode well for the great mixed martial artist’s fighting career.

Since the fiasco’s sudden inception, Jones has been replaced by former UFC middleweight champion Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva, who will take on Cormier in a three round light heavyweight bout tomorrow night in place of the troubled Jones.

UFC 200 is set to go down tomorrow night from the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas on pay-per-view (PPV), but stay with LowKick for the latest on Jones and his trials with USADA as it comes…
