Jon Jones confessed that, he had been under the octagonal cage at Jacksonwink MMA to avoid an unexpected test from the Nevada Sports Committee (NSAC).
Jones, former Light Heavyweight UFC championship and is one of the best MMA boxers of all time, shared that he had just smoked a marijuana “and feared that NSAC would be” summed up “if they grab Jones to get the doping test sample. This incident occurred before UFC cooperated with the US anti -doping agency (USADA) in 2015.
This acknowledgment was given in a interview on Twitter with the Middlewaight Israeli Adesanya UFC champion. Adesanya tweeted Jones “under the cage to escape USADA in a random stimulant test.”
Jones replied: “I escaped from Nevada Sports Committee, not USADA and that was many years ago. I just smoked a marijuana cigarette and feared that I would violate the banned quality test because it was sucking … that's true.”
Admittedly, it was one thing, however, it turned out that Jon Jones was only worried. According to the law of Nevada, marijuana is not banned from use during the time outside the match but only banned in the time right before and after the match.
Jones, 33, has been suspended by USADA twice for the past four years because of positive tests with doping. However, after the investigation, the agency discovered that there was no evidence that Jones intentionally used these substances in both cases.
