I know he had some flashy and unorthodox techniques but I think without steroids Jones would not have been nearly as good as he was. Obviously he didn't just take steroids twice, if I were to guess I would say he had been taking them his entire career. Without steroids he wouldn't have been able to train as often, wouldn't be as strong or as fast as he was. I think he realised early that he didn't have what it takes to become an elite fighter so he decided to cheat his way there.
It's a pity because he could have been a very good fighter but we'll never know now because Jones was never a clean fighter. I'd like to see Jones banned for life as I don't think 4 years is enough of a penalty. I have no interest in seeing lab created cowards fight against legitimate hard working fighters. Maybe someday the repercussions for cheating will be enough to stop people from using PEDs
