Yep. There's effectively zero chance Jon Jones is clean. And Daniel Cormier knows it!

Two major pieces of news surrounding this shit-fest surrounding Jon Junkie Jones and his light-heavyweight title shot at UFC 232 against Alexander Gustafson.

• The first is a tweet from noted drug expert and "Game of Shadows" Federal agent Jeff Novitzky, through Shaheen el-Shatti, the senior editor of MMAFighting.com...

Jeff Novitzky tells Joe Rogan that USADA first noticed adverse findings for a longterm oral turinabol metabolite in Jon Jones' drug tests back in August.

Aug. 9: Negative
Aug. 29: 8 pecograms
Sept. 18: 19 pecograms
Sept. 21, Oct. 2, Oct. 11, Nov. 14: All negative

Which would, on surface, explain the decision by the California State Athletic Commission to license this fight...

EXCEPT...

It blows up the entire story behind the fight happening at all!!  It would appear, to at least this untrained eye, that this would indicate that Jones WAS, in fact, juicing at some point after the August 9 test and before the October 2 test.

Why, at that point, would the long-term metabolite increase almost 150% from the August 29 to the September 18 test?

And then doubly why, sans a coverup to save UFC 232 in all respects, did he then test clean 72 hours later?

This STINKS, and has to leave one to believe that Jon Junkie Jones is dirty and, once this coverup ends, will fail a THIRD major UFC drug test in the last 33 UFC cards.

EDIT TO ADD:  And now word Novitsky has reported that no one told the California State Athletic Commission of these two positives before they licensed Jones...

And something else happened today, and I do believe it's as a result:

• The fight is scheduled to be for UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier's UFC Light Heavyweight title.  Before today, he was champion of both weight classes, but would be formally stripped of the title for not fighting at the 205 pound limit in the division.
• Cormier walked away from that belt himself today in a statement to ESPN.

Jones is about a 5-2 favorite in Saturday night's main event.

Cormier is quitting the LH title not to have to fight Jones a third time -- and probably get another failed drug test (unless the coverup to get this fight done unravels).
