UFC champ Jon Jones enters rehab after testing positive for cocaine
LAS VEGAS – UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones announced Tuesday that he has entered a drug treatment facility.
The announcement came just days after Jones defeated Daniel Cormier on Saturday in the main event of UFC 182 at the MGM Grand Garden in a five-round decision that left many considering him as the greatest mixed martial arts fighter of all time.
But in a random drug test given to him on Dec. 4 by the Nevada Athletic Commission, Jones tested positive for benzoylecgonine, the main metabolite in cocaine.
The Nevada commission follows the World Anti-Doping Agency code and benzoylecgonine is not banned out-of-competition. As a result, the commission was unable to penalize Jones or prevent him from fighting despite knowing of the positive test.
It conducted a follow-up test later in December that Jones passed. Yahoo Sports was unable to get the exact date of the second test that Jones passed.
Jones released a statement to Yahoo Sports through his attorney acknowledging his problem.
"With the support of my family, I have entered into a drug treatment facility. I want to apologize to my fiancée, my children, as well as my mother, father, and brothers for the mistake that I made. I also want to apologize to the UFC, my coaches, my sponsors and equally important to my fans. I am taking this treatment program very seriously. Therefore, at this time my family and I would appreciate privacy."
The UFC released the following statement in regards to Jones:
“We support UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones’ decision to enter a drug treatment facility to address his recent issue. While we are disappointed in the failed test, we applaud him for making this decision to enter a drug treatment facility. Jon is a strong, courageous fighter inside the Octagon, and we expect him to fight this issue with the same poise and diligence. We commend him on his decision, and look forward to him emerging from this program a better man as a result.”
Nevada commission chairman Francisco Aguilar said the commission is going to discuss out-of-competition drug tests at its next meeting and whether to break from the WADA code in similar situations.
"I am pleased that Mr. Jones is addressing this issue and seeking help for his problem," Aguilar said.
The test given to Jones was analyzed for anabolic agents, peptide hormones, growth factors and related substances, beta-2 agonists, hormone and metabolic modulators, diuretics and other masking agents, stimulants, narcotics, canabinoids and glucocorticosteroids.

1/1 NIGHT UPDATE: Roundtable on 2014's Fighter of the Year; Lawler-Hendricks III next; White says UFC getting away from drug testing plans; McGregor to get Aldo with win this month

1/1 NIGHT UPDATE
If you're tuning in to the App for the first time in a while, make sure to check out the big update on the App's home page for notes and information on the changes made to the new mobile site at MMATorch.com in your mobile browser. Keep sending your thoughts in to mmatorch@gmail.com so we can make the mobile site the best experience for you! We truly appreciate the feedback, and we're making changes as necessary. Here's what's on the site tonight:
-In a new roundtable tonight, the crew gives their thoughts on who should go down as 2014's “Fighter of the year”. Excerpt from Dan Moore: “I wouldn't normally consider anyone for this award who's had a loss in the previous twelve months, but it's hard to look beyond Robbie Lawler this year. He lost a ridiculously good fight by a slender margin, and then bounced back to secure another title shot with wins over Jake Ellenberger and Matt Brown. Finally, he finished off the year by clinching his first ever UFC Title in another very good fight. Honorable mention to T.J. Dillashaw, who's a close runner-up, but my Fighter of the Year goes to Robbie Lawler.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full roundtable.
-Speaking of Robbie Lawler, his next fight is going to come against Johny Hendricks (again). UFC President Dana White said tonight that's the direction they're heading. Head to the mobile site for more thoughts on that matchup coming next.
-In other Dana White comments from today, he says they're going away from plans to implement year-round drug testing after their legal team erred in the handling of Cung Le's drug test in August. See his comments with further analysis on the move on the mobile site.
-Finally, Conor McGregor will be next for Jose Aldo if he beats Dennis Siver at UFC Fight Night 59 this month. More on that on the mobile site.
