I know about the timing and levels of his test. But his sentence was reduced by 3 months because they believed he did not intentionally take anything. They reduced it by 30(!) months because he provided USADA "substantial assistance". That's not from Chael or anyone else in the media. That's from USADA's statement. So again, either he has intimate knowledge of PEDs or the UFC was pulling the strings.I have no idea if Jones was taking anything on purpose. Jones makes stupid decisions all the time so he has no credibility, but the timing of when he got busted really makes no sense for someone who was actually using something.
There's also a ton of misinformation out there in terms of the reduced sentence and snitching that people are taking at face value because they treat media like Chael Sonnen's words as actual fact when it has been proven that he was wrong about this whole situation. Jones suspension is perfectly in-line with them finding that he didn't take anything on purpose and that's an aside from the "snitching" reduction. People need to actually research these tests because you can see when it's obvious someone was cheating and when there may have been something else going on. Compare Jon Jones test to what came up for guys like Sonnen, Belfort, and dozens of others and you can see the difference.
I agree with the other stuff about DC - he admits he lost to Jones. The other thing is, it's MMA.. you don't need to "admit" someone is better than you. We've seen them fight - Jon Jones is better. It's true whether or not DC admits it.
I don't know what/if he was on, when he was on it, or how it effected his performance. But there's too much shit around him that I think it's fair for DC, me, or anybody else to question it.
