Overview
- Covington, Jon Jones’ former roommate at Iowa Central Community College, alleged in an interview published Friday that Jones used testosterone during their time on the wrestling team.
- He said Jones wanted to move up from the 197-pound class to heavyweight and chose testosterone to gain size and strength.
- Covington described sharp mood swings and angry reactions to small things, which he attributed to steroid use.
- Jones has not responded to the new allegation, and no formal inquiry or college-era testing records have been reported.
- Reports note Jones’ professional record includes a 2016 USADA suspension for clomiphene and letrozole, a later CSAC 15-month ban after a Turinabol finding, and a 2015 out-of-competition cocaine metabolite result that did not bar him from fighting under the rules then.
