UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones was arrested for allegedly assaulting and threatening to kill a drug testing agent who visited his home for a surprise drug test in March. Jones admitted to being frustrated during the encounter which ended amicably, but the agent reported feeling threatened and feared for her safety. Jones was issued a summons for assault and interfering with communications but was not taken into custody. This is not Jones’ first brush with the law, as he has faced previous arrests for a hit-and-run crash, domestic battery, and doping violations. In 2018, he was suspended for 15 months for violating the UFC’s anti-doping policy. However, Jones has a successful career with a record of 27 wins, one loss, and one no contest. The drug testing process is conducted by Drug Free Sport International, which is a global leader in anti-doping and also works with other sports organizations such as MLB, NFL, NASCAR, PGA, and the NCAA. UFC announced a new anti-doping policy with more rigorous sample collection procedures in late December. Jones’ case raises questions about athlete safety during drug testing and the consequences of non-compliance with anti-doping regulations.
