How long does Jones get suspended for, any guesses?

[basedworld]

2 years.

Don't know where the 3-4 years stuff comes from.

Moving on to section 10.7 things can get worse for Jones as this would be his second ADP violation. This section requires a doubling of the penalty stating “For an Athlete or other Person’s second Anti-Doping Policy Violation, the period of Ineligibility shall be…twice the period of Ineligibility otherwise applicable to the second Anti-Doping Policy Violation treated as if it were a first violation“. In short 4 years.

Normal ban for an anabolic steroid is 2. Penalties are doubled for a second offence. 2 x 2 =4.

First offense technically wasn't for an anabolic steroid though or does it not matter?

Doesn't matter. The language in the anti-doping policy refers to doping violations in general, not to violations for the same class of drugs.

2 years.

the second offense is suppose to be double the suspension time

2 years makes sense. No point suspending him for any longer because he is going to do it again anyway.

3 years minimum. him deciding to do it again anyway isn't grounds to lower the suspension. this isn't just about jon jones its also about making other people think twice about taking them in the UFC

Should be 4, but will probably be 2.

Considering Chael got 2 years for more repeated infractions hard to believe Jones gets a lifetime ban I wouldn't be surprised if he gets 2 years. I think prepare to be pissed off.

the start point is 4 year from usada

room for reductions for acidental/contamination - biggest reductions weve seen are 75% in cases of Romero and Means, that would leave him facing 1 year.

potential for increases for aggravating circumstances, proven as being a deliberate oping program etc.

so likely anything between 1 year and 4..

take your pick

Make it 10 years. Cormier vs Jones III.
