Even though the B sample from Jon Jones' July fight with Daniel Cormier in UFC 214 tested positive for steroid use, Jones continues to assert his innocence.
The former heavyweight Grand Prix competitor and multiple-time UFC title contender, Chael Sonnen, has been completely transparent about his past of steroid use while competing professionally.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, he not only acknowledged that he "had more juice than Tropicana" for his title match against Jon Jones at light heavyweight, but he also expressed his belief that Jones was doping at the time.
When asked if Jones was clean for their fight, Sonnen responded, "No Heavens no. God, oh God. God, oh God! We are aware of our own, Ariel. Yes. Indeed, I could very easily tell you right away."
He said, "The three main tells are there in his body like it would start with his delts, then move to his nipples, and then it would be the upper abs."
"I knew his secret when he pushed me around like a Mack truck even though I had more juice than Tropicana. We locked up with each other and he was forcing me backward with his enormous spinning elbow," Chael added.
"They did test, yes. But it wasn't a drug test back then; it was an IQ test. Since we lacked USADA, they had to notify us in advance of their arrival for testing," revealed Sonnen.
"I would never do steroids, I put that on my children and on my Heavenly Father," Jones once said when he was tested positive for the steroid Turinabol at UFC 214 and for a PED.
