Jon Jones addressed allegations of assaulting a drug testing agent, stating that while frustrated, the encounter ended amicably. He shared security footage showing the agents leaving his home after collecting the sample.
“I want to address reports about me allegedly threatening a drug tester’s life and taking a phone,” Jones wrote on Instagram. “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.”
The drug testing agent claimed she was “terrified” during the alleged incident, stating that Jones stood less than a foot away from her. She decided to seek criminal charges against Jones for the alleged assault, despite her boss at the drug-testing agency trying to dissuade her from filing a police report.
UFC officials are yet to issue a statement regarding the allegations against Jones.
