The WADA-accredited lab utilized by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for UFC 182 found no evidence that UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones used exogenous testosterone.

The NSAC today released an additional document, obtained by MMAjunkie and viewable here, related to the testing performed on Jones (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) before and after his UFC 182 title defense against Daniel Cormier (15-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC).

The document notes five urine samples provided by Jones, all of which were found to be clear of the banned hormone and its precursors.

“Based on the review of steroid profiles and available IRMS data, there is no evidence to indicate the administration of exogenous testosterone or testosterone precursors,” noted the report, which was prepared by Vinod Nair of the Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory in Salt Lake City.

NSAC chair Francisco Aguilar said the IRMS test (also called Carbon Isotope Ratio, which detects exogenous testosterone) was ordered after suspicions were raised by the values found in an out-of-competition test performed on Jones that revealed the presence of cocaine metabolites.

Experts said Jones’ testosterone-to-epitestosterone (T/E) ratios leading up to the fight warranted further scrutiny. Aguilar told MMAjunkie the results of the test speak for themselves and declined further comment. The commission is still awaiting fight-night test results for steroids and drugs of abuse.
