The verdict is still up in the air when it comes to Jon Jones’ most recent failed drug test that had him stripped of the title he won from Daniel Cormier. There have been various theories about what he was taking, and Joe Rogan just revealed one theory on his podcast in a Fight Recap episode with Brendan Schaub. You can find the episode here and this conversation takes place around the one hour and twenty two minute mark.
Joe said that the substance that Jones tested positive for is also used in creatine from China. Everyone knows that supplements can be tainted right off the shelf, and that’s why fighters need to be extra careful, but that’s not the crazy part about this theory. Joe Rogan went on to explain that sometimes, creatine is used to cut cocaine because it looks the same. People will mix creatine with cocaine and then sell it, so the theory is that Jon Jones was back into the party scene and snorted something that was cut with creatine that was laced with roids.
It’s kind of far-fetched, and Joe wouldn’t reveal who told him this rumor.
Joe also points out that Jon Jones had a birthday 10 days out before his fight, and Schaub theoriez that Jones could have done a couple bumps on his birthday to celebrate.
Joe: “If that’s the case, just stop and think about it for a moment…” Since the drug isn’t banned except during competition, could this be a way out of the suspension and back in the Octagon? How many chances will Jon Jones get?
Joe did say that he didn’t hear this rumor from Jones himself, that it came from someone else.
