Turns out Bones had multiple abnormally low T:E level tests leading up to the fight, which is a sign that someone has cycled off steroids/PED's. Especially someone muscular and athletic like him, compared to doughy and sad like me.
Jon Jones T:E levels were 0.29:1.00 : MMA
Normal is between 0.7:1 and 1.2:1. Jones was 0.35:1, 0.29:1, and 0.19:1.
I also love all the MMA fighters pointing out that apparently Cocaine = no penalty, Weed = KILL THE HERETIC!!!!
As long as you are only doing the coke all through training camp where it acts as a great weight-loss drug. Not actually on fight night.
edit: Also there's been minor reports and hints about JJ's coke use going back years. So apparently it's a well known thing in some circles.

After some googling, it seems that while the NSAC itself doesn't decide on it's own to release test results nor are they obligated to do so if someone does test positive, instead it sounds like it does force fighters to sign a waiver when they apply for a license and this waiver allows other people to request to have test results released publicly.

They should have two divisions, one for roids and one without.
That way in one division we could see the type of human monsters we could create with the right cocktail of drugs.
and the anti-steroid division will be a test division to see who can come up with the least detectable designer drugs, when they start cheating in that division too.
Also they need to bring back Gis and have a Gi Divison where its legal to manipulate your opponents Gi in a fight, possibly bare-knuckle (I'm serious about this one).

I wouldn't mind letting fighters wear Gis again but how many would even want to in MMA match?

Both parties wear a Gi, it wouldn't be optional, which is why it'd be a separate division.
Mainly Judaka and Jiu-Jitsu Players...possibly see some SAMBO, belt-and-jacket wrestlers, etc...

Sounds like he's just a coke head, or they had both roided up and everyone is making up random tests to prove they didn't juice.
** Wlll it's odd they would do the additional testing on Jones's and not Cormier's for the same thing when they had near the same test results. Maybe that's why Cormier's camp hasn't said shit about the test results? Who knows, but Cormier has been the better man in response to Jones going into rehab and just being classy.
I'm all for Roided/Non Roided weight classes. People can drink and cause lot of unlawful acts and smoke cigs, yet people can't juice up and put on performances for people.

I imagine it might have something to do with the difference in the ng/mL numbers and the fact that one measurement is just a ratio and the other is simply a raw measurement. They may have looked at Cormier's ng/mL results after seeing his T/E and figured that he wouldn't have had test results of 50 ng/mL and a 70 ng/mL if he was doping as in all likelihood the ng/mL measurement would have dropped even lower if he had been. But if you were to look at JJ's T/E and then looked at ng/mL results and they were also abnormally low...at that point I imagine that's where discussion of the CIR comes into play.
I still doubt JJ is or has been on PEDs in the past, as he could have just had a flukey test (in regards to PEDs at least!) and the CIR seems to have confirmed that. Well, unless you count cocaine as a PED, that is...
