www.sherdog.com/news/news/CSAC-Fines-ExChamp-Jon-Jones-36205K-Revokes-License-for-Failed-Drug-Test-at-UFC-214-132659"During a hearing on Tuesday, the California State Athletic Commission revoked Jones’ license in the state and fined him 40 percent of his purse -- $205,000 – from UFC 214. The revocation comes with a one-year period of ineligibility, meaning that Jones will not be able to reapply for a license until August at the earliest. That term is expected to be recognized in other states and by the UFC, as well. Jones was also fined an additional $5,000 by CSAC." "There is no guarantee that USADA will impose a similar penalty. In fact, Jones could face up to a four-year suspension from USADA as a second-time offender. In 2016, he tested positive for two anti-estrogen agents, which resulted in him being pulled from a UFC 200 bout against Cormier. Jones went on to claim that the failed test was the result of a tainted sexual enhancement pill, but he was still given a one-year suspension for negligence." CSAC is being pretty lenient. Hope USADA can follow through.

I saw someone (Ariel?) live tweeting yesterday during the hearing and they noted one thing I thought was of real interest. Jon Jones was required to do USADA training a couple of years ago and he admitted that he had his management attend on his behalf and forge his signature on the "I attended" document. I can't imagine when this goes to USADA they're going to be too thrilled with that.

Where does the 205,000 go?
Anyone see Phil Baroni's tweet, calling the people who run USADA communist... He's lucky they were not around during his time. Lol

Jones just pisses me off with how much wasted talent he actually has. It's sad to see. He could be the best ever, and he makes the wrong decision at every turn.
