UFC champ Jon Jones is entering a drug rehabilitation program after testing positive for cocaine metabolites. Full story coming shortly.


Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 5 Min.Vor 5 Minuten

From what I understand the test was "out of competition" per the WADA code, so no suspension/fine/result overturned for Jones.

Wow. Can't believe he tested positive 2 weeks before the fight. Bad news for him and the UFC. Jon Jones' 2015 has now gone from the supposed best year of his career to a likely huge stumbling block.

Of course there won't be any repercussions, silly. He can do all things through Christ, including bumps of coke.

Wow. This is insane.  Curious to see how this all plays out.  That being said, I hope he gets the help he needs.

But Jones is still a good guy right? He's a role model to the kids. He must've thought the cocaine was creatine or something right?

So you can do coke "out of competition" until your nose bleeds, but you can't smoke a J in your downtime? Good to know...

It would appear Jon is finally learning to truly embrace his inner heel.

If he doesn't get punished then seriously it's a ******* disgrace, reading that UFC statement honestly makes me sick.. They're making him out to be a ******* unbelievable person for going into a drug treatment facility, like he has a ******* choice, **** you Jon, **** YOU!

I doubt he will get any serious punishment.  Probably put him in hiding for half a year or something like that.

I'm surprised (well, not really, considering the money involved) that they let him fight if they already knew he failed the test.  While not punishable under the commission, it has to be a violation of the UFC conduct policy.

i don't understand? So if WADA tested him and he failed shouldn't he get a suspension at least? Didn't Overeem fail his test before the JDS fight outside of competition and he got suspended.

Different rules and stipulations for different substances. Out-of-competition testing doesn't hold punishments for recreational drugs, only PEDs. I think.
