      Did they find something in one of his supplements?

        That seems to be what Dana is hinting at.

          If he's clean my bad, but I still think he's a criminal besides ped.

            If he comes back soon he still does not deserve a title shot. Let DC and Jon both fight first before they meet again.

              I think depending on who wins Glover/Rumble they may or may not greenlight the Jones/DC rematch again right away.

                I'm kinda tired of that match falling through too, at the same time I really just want to get it over with.

                If he's really going to walk away free from this then I'll be surprised. Good for the sport though, he's the best and he's been inactive for too long already.

                Still a huge ******* though. It's only a matter of time until something happens again. Hopefully again, there were some lessons to be learned from this, for him.

                  The FS article says he still took something, still failed, but he claims he didn't know. So since there is no proof and he didn't clear the supplements, they should give him 2 years.

                  How are they going to enforce the rules if they keep allowing them to find supplements with the same stuff in it as they failed for and give them 6 months.

                    The Wrestling Observer says, In an interview with Jim Rome Dana said, "It's coming back now that it looks like he did not take the supplement everyone thought he took. Then says what he failed for, then White later said this: We'll let this thing play out. If that's true, and that's what USADA and the Nevada State Athletic Commission say happened, it could look good for Jon Jones. Where he doesn't come off clean is you have to tell USADA everything that you put into your body leading up to the fight and he did not.

                    So Dana is practically saying what Jon said may actually be true.

                        Peter Rosenberg recently did a Phone Interview with CM Punk. Get his thoughts on UFC 203, his training regimen, McGregor vs. the WWE. Worth a listen:

                                From a yahoo article...

                                "Dana White Likes The Idea Of Anthony Johnson Vs. Jon Jones As His Next UFC Superfight"

                                (August 23, 2016)

                                After quickly and viciously dispatching top ranked contender Glover Teixeira via tooth-shattering KO at UFC 202 last weekend, it seemed as if Anthony “Rumble” Johnson had definitively punched his ticket to another shot at light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier next. The two last met back in May of 2015 at UFC 187 — you know, after Jon Jones was forced to drop out because of that whole hit-and-run thing — with Cormier managing to weather Rumble’s early storm and eventually wear him down en route to a third round submission win.

                                With Jones having managed to once again screw himself over indefinitely, Rumble vs. DC II is basically the only sensical title matchup that the UFC could book, but Dana White, ever the misanthrope, actually has different plan in mind. During an appearance on the UFC Unfiltered podcast yesterday, White stated his interest to book Johnson vs. Jones in a title eliminator match to see who truly deserves the next crack at Cormier.

                                “You know what, man. I’m in a weird place,” White said. “I saw that fight and it was a great fight, but I’ve still got to talk to Joe Silva and see what he thinks. I’m thinking that maybe we do Anthony Johnson versus Jon Jones to see who gets to fight Daniel Cormier.”

                                You might be asking yourself how this fight could possibly make sense given that Jones is currently serving a temporary suspension after testing positive for a pair of banned substances, but the truth is that Jones’ suspension might be coming to an end sooner than expected in light of new developments surrounding his case — mainly, that over-the-counter Cialis might have triggered his false positive.

                                “I’ve not talked to Jon, but the guy has got 13 lives, man,” White continued. “It’s looking good for him. He’s got to deal with Nevada right now, and this thing that went down and I can’t say a lot about it because it’s not my place. We will see how this thing plays out, but it’s looking good for him.”

                                It might be looking good for Jones, but unfortunately, both Cormier and Johnson have recently come out against the idea of having to fight Jones, with the latter outright refusing to fight him next and the latter telling him to “get back in line.” Given how poorly White’s decision to keep Donald Cerrone at welterweight against his will is going over, perhaps it’s time that he took a step back and allowed Joe Silva to do his job.
