UFC’s Jon Jones has license revoked for failing doping test
"I don't believe we should end Mr. Jones' career, but I do believe he should sit out for a while", CSAC Executive Director Andy Foster said (thanks to MMAjunkie for the quotes).
But it was clear they were sick of Jones' countless mistakes throughout his career.
Jon Jones celebrates his win against Daniel Cormier in the light heavyweight title bout during UFC 214 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on Saturday, July 29, 2017.
That said, something in the range of a two-year suspension (including time served) is a more logical penalty, looking at his past transgressions and the odd specifics of the current case.
Jon Jones was hammered with a heavy fine and license revocation after a hearing before the California State Athletic Commission on Tuesday.
In addition to that line of questioning, Shen-Urquidez got Jones to admit under oath that he never personally completed USADA tutorials that were required of him.

Sega accidentally released full Yakuza 6 game as demo
Sega is investigating the problem, but the company's statement may explain why the demo was such a huge download. As of now, there is no information of when Sega will re-upload the demo for the Yakuza 6 for the US players.
NY native Jones failed his pre-fight drug test before his UFC 214 grudge match with Daniel Cormier, which he won in devastating fashion. He also passed a test the day after the fight, but it wasn't screened for turinabol.
The troubled MMA legend had his license revoked, was fined $205,000, and can potentially reapply in August.
The 30-year-old Jones (22-1, 1 no-contest) vehemently denied taking any steroids knowingly, but couldn't explain how the failure occurred.
The hearing did not go well for Jones from the start, where he was grilled on his past mistakes and troubles with the law. They also asked that the panel only consider the current failed test when determining a fine, and not consider his past indiscretions. "You guys know this makes no sense".
"I've tried to imagine any scenario, someone who doesn't like me possibly doing something to a meal or drink - which can drive a person insane", Jones said. I'm trying to figure it out like everyone else. "You can call me a little bit of a party-boy or a knucklehead, but a cheater is something I'll never say that I am, because that's not who I am".
Jones-Cormier III (or would it be two, considering the no-contest?) at heavyweight would certainly be a pay-per-view hit. However, much depends on what type of sanction Jones receives from USADA. Now Jon Jones is not a dummy at all, but you can't be that stupid to buy into that crap. The tweet can be shown below via Jones' account.
