Jeff Novitzky, UFC vice-president of athlete health and performance, isn't ruling it out:

“I’ve said this awhile now, it would not make a lot of sense for an individual, a UFC athlete who knew, especially a champion or contender like Jon Jones, who knew ‘Hey, I’m tested quite regularly in the program,’ would not make a lot of sense that (Turinabol) would be your drug of choice if you were intentionally trying to cheat. USADA did another test on Jon after his positive test and he was negative. Who knows where it plays out, but certainly on the surface of things, I have said, with that type of information out there, it wouldn’t indicate intentional use.”

Turinabol takes several months to clear an athlete’s system and is not something that can easily be cycled, according to Novitzky, so Jones would have to be the biggest moron on the UFC roster (plausible), or get mixed up with some shady supplements (probable).

Novitzky: Jon Jones drug test does not indicate intentional use


Anyone ready to give Bones the benefit of the doubt?

He's definitely the biggest moron in the UFC. His track record proves that. It sounds like they are working on a way to give this dipshit another pass.

Innocent is a very strong word for it.

There's definitely a chance that he didn't intentionally seek out to take a banned substance but it's very possible that he either just didn't care about what he was taking or he was actively pushing boundaries as much as possible.

All seriousness though, it makes no sense. He either took some tainted shit, or is the dumbest athlete ever.

Like someone just said the UFC is just looking for a way not to lose one of their last draws.

MovinOn @MovinOn is that your dog in your avatar?
Nope. My boy is a German shepherd/English mastiff. Floppy ears. 110 pounds. Could easily be 120 lbs but we keep him on the lean side due to joint issues.

Found this avatar pic online and liked it.

Is that your dink in your avatar pic? Uh, never mind...

I might tease the idea of Boy Cry Wolf

but in the end, the Boy was an asshole for lying and deserved every bit of that mauling from the Wolf

He's gonna get the Lesnar treatment, they need people badly. They're already setting it up. And we'll all play along.

If Jon had evidence of a tainted supplement, he would have made that evidence public by now.

From the Article

"Turinabol takes several months to clear an athlete’s system and is not something that can easily
be cycled, according to Novitzky, so Jones would have to be the biggest moron on the UFC roster (plausible),
or get mixed up with some shady supplements (probable)"

Yeah Jon would have to show very moronic behavior to be that reckless. Like if he hit a pregnant lady
and ran from the scene... then ran back to get his weed pipe. Or if he showed other reckless behavior like
doing coke a week before his fight or if he did something else reckless like drinking and driving and wrapping
a Bentley around a telephone pole.

Cmon guys... Jon has not shown any of that type of moronic behavior.

If moronic behavior doesn't fit you must acquit!
