UFC champion Jon Jones is adamantly denying any wrongdoing after a drug tester confirmed up at his place unannounced … saying the entire interplay was as cordial as could possibly be.
Jones — a 36-year-old fighter — claims he was at his house in Albuquerque, New Mexico final weekend … when out of nowhere, a UFC-certified official confirmed as much as check his blood whereas he was celebrating a birthday.
In a police report filed by the alleged tester, Jones is accused of grabbing the official’s telephone and threatening to kill her … however he says there’s video to show there was no dangerous blood.
Here is Jones’ assertion in its entirety.
“I want to address reports about me allegedly threatening a drug tester’s life and taking a phone,” Jones informed TMZ Sports activities. “I want to clarify that there is a video showing both drug testers leaving my home after the testing session, where we exchanged a high five and a hug. Although I was frustrated with the unprofessionalism and used profanity out of frustration it ended friendly and amicably, nothing threatening at all.”
“I was actually celebrating a friend’s birthday party at my home, and I believe it’s perfectly normal to celebrate in the comfort of my own home.”
He continued … “I must say, this particular tester behaved quite unprofessionally and even breached standard protocol along with HIPAA laws. Throughout my 20 years of being subjected to drug tests, I have never encountered such an incident with a DCO officer before.”
It goes with out saying, Jones is extensively thought of the best to ever step foot within the Octagon … and whereas he is had his justifiable share of run-ins with the regulation prior to now, he appears adamant he did nothing felony right here.
