The panel's resolution read “On the evidence before the panel, the applicant is not a drug cheat, he did not know that the tablet he took contained prohibited substances or that those substances had the capacity to enhance sporting performance. However by his imprudent use of the pill he has not only lost a year of his career but an estimated $9m. This outcome which he admits to be a wake-up call for him should serve as a warning to all others who participate in the same sport.”
A statement from the UFC read: “UFC is aware of the one-year sanction levied against Jon Jones as a result of his UFC Anti-Doping Policy violation, decided by a three-person arbitration panel held on October 31. While the decision indicates no evidence of Jones' intentional use of banned substances, it does highlight the care and diligence that is required by athletes competing in the UFC to ensure that no prohibited substances enter their system.”
