Alexander Gustafsson believes Jon Jones was using banned substances when they fought
Add Alexander Gustafsson to the list of people who think Jon Jones was on performance-enhancing drugs long before he was caught by USADA.
Jones, who is currently serving the final months of a year-long suspension, tested positive for a banned substance before his light heavyweight title fight against Daniel Cormier last year, and Gustafsson believes Jones could have even been on them when they crossed paths over three years ago at UFC 165.
“I believe so, I believe so,” Gustafsson told MMAFighting when asked if he thought Jones used performance-enhancing drugs. “I think he’s been doing a lot of stuff that he shouldn’t be doing. It’s tragic to say, but I believe he’s been doing (expletive) he shouldn’t for a long time.”
“Well, you know, he hadn’t been in the cage for a long time when he fought [Ovince Saint Preux],” he said. “I don’t know. I don’t know if he was on it or not for that fight, but I believe he was when we fought and stuff like that. But anyway, it’s history now and new times are coming, and we probably will fight again someday.”
