That's just the amount that they found in his system. How did the "tiny amount" get there? Making is great until it isn't. His first bust was for the "masking agents" and his second bust was for the PED that the masking agents were used to cover up. Where there's smoke, there's fire and where there's fire, well, there you go.
Yes. I’m not sure why people struggle with this. It’s stupid. Ever since the UFC increased the intensity of its testing procedures, Jon has run into difficulties of some kind. *Every* single time!
Pre-USADA, the UFC paid for enhanced testing by the commission. Jon produced THREE separate blood tests prior to the first Cormier fight consistent with either imminent death, extreme old age, or PED cycling.
Jon allegedly also spent almost a full day hiding underneath the cage at Jackson’s when the testers came calling.
When USADA came in to the sport, Jon suddenly bulked up like the Hulk, and looked like shit against OSP. A cynic would say that he was feeling mentally weak without PEDs and overcompensated with the weights.
Two days prior to UFC 200, Jon (now having shed the muscle mass in a matter of weeks - go figure) popped for a banned substance, in this case a masking agent used to disguise steroid use. The ‘dick pill’ excuse convinced nobody given that the team mate who supplied the ‘pill’ also purchased the masking agent in the same fucking order!
After defeating DC in their rematch, Jon then failed a drug test and popped for steroids. This may be evidence of either unbelievable stupidity (it’s a common steroid) or industrial scale cheating (long-term micro-dosing/using another banned substance that was contaminated by the steroid through the lab where they are made). Either way, Jon popped.
Literally every single scheduled fight for Jon in the era of enhanced testing has either brought drug test failures, suspicious blood results, or other kinds of questions (his performance against OSP).
Only a delusional individual could examine this evidence and conclude that Jon is clean.
