'GET IT TOGETHER' Disgraced Jon Jones fails another drug test for banned Turinabol

The light heavyweight champion, 31, failed a test in the build-up to his win over Alexander Gustafsson - forcing UFC 232 to be moved from Las Vegas to California.turinabol bodybuilding

Now, his weigh-in sample has also found to contain trace elements of the steroid but experts claim this is due to a "pulsing effect" dating back to 2017.

And this means Jones' victory - his first since serving a 15-month ban for his original violation two years ago - is likely to stand as officials feel he has already been punished.

California State Athletic Commission head Andy Foster said: “I spoke with the scientists.

"They stand by their original statement. Nothing has changed. We’ve already punished Jon Jones for the M3 metabolite, which is a long-term metabolite.There’s no grounds to charge somebody twice for the same violation.”

Jones is due to fight Anthony Smith in Las Vegas at UFC 235 in March and this opponent insists he is not paying any attention to the controversy.He tweeted: "If you’re hitting me up about this, don’t. I truly dont care. Picograms, no picograms, Olympic sized swimming pools, grains of salt...

"I couldn’t care any less. I signed on the line and did it knowing what I was signing up for and with no expectations. I’m good, y’all."
