So, barring some sort of malicious tampering of a supplement as Jones used the ignorance excuse last time, would this qualify as a repeat offender suspension of 4 years due to failing for the estrogen blocker last time or it would it be the first time steroid failure penalty of 2 years?  The latter is obviously bad for him but the former flirts with being a career killer.

Lance Pugmire posted a video of the media talking with Novitzky and Dana after the Contender series episode ended tonight and from Novitzky's explanation, it sounded like it would be two years and not four. He also talked about mitigating and aggravating circumstances which allows USADA to reduce or extend a sanction based on the circumstances involved. The latter would an athlete going out of their way to clearly beat the system before ultimately failing to do so. The former would be the stuff we've seen with tainted supplements or any tampering etc. However, they can't decide on any of that until the process unfolds. So for right now, there is no one size fits all penalty or action until they figure out what happened and whether Jones and his team will or won't contest the potential doping violation.

Tested positive for roids after Cormier fight. Stripped of title, facing four-year ban. Facing hell, there is no way on God's earth that he gets less than the four-year ban. I can't think of any other athlete that good in their chosen sport who has squandered it quite so badly. A damn shame.
