Jon Jones reiterates claims of never using steroids amid controversy

Jon Jones has asserted in a recent interview that he has never used steroids throughout his UFC career. The former two-division champion, who holds a record of 28-1 MMA and 22-1 UFC, faced scrutiny due to past positive drug tests. Jones was stripped of his title in 2016 after testing positive for estrogen blockers and had a win overturned in 2017 due to a positive test for a turinabol metabolite. However, he maintains that an independent arbitrator found he did not knowingly cheat. In response to ongoing skepticism, Jones explains that the substances found were the result of a tainted supplement. He has fought five times since being cleared in his 2018 bout with Alexander Gustafsson without any further drug test issues.
