He claims that all of his drug test results are under the new legal limit of 100 picograms, which was changed in 2019, and therefore should be considered valid. Jones hopes that this will allow him to move on from his past failed drug tests and restore his reputation as a fighter.

He served a USADA suspension for the violation but then tested positive again in 2017 for turinabol, causing his win to be overturned to a no contest, along with a 15-month suspension. Jones believes that if the current threshold for prohibited substances had been in place during his previous failed drug tests, they would not have been considered violations and his win over Cormi...
