Add another name to the list of people reacting to Jon Jones’ latest failed drug test.

Daniel Cormier’s longtime coach, Javier Mendez, is that person who has come out and gave his take on the situation. He made it clear that he is waiting for the final outcome of Jones’ second positive steroid test.

He also noted that if the UFC light heavyweight champion is not able to get his name cleared then he believes the verdict should be clear. For a brief recap on this situation, the UFC light heavyweight champion failed an in-competition drug test at UFC 214.

Due to that failed drug test, Jones has been provisionally suspended by USADA pending a full investigation by the CAC (California Athletic Commission). Jones defeated Cormier by third-round TKO in the main event of UFC 214 on July 29 in Anaheim, California to regain the title.

During a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Mendez went on record by saying that he was in disbelief when he heard the news. Jones tested positive for turanabol – a vintage steroid no longer in production – in a test administered.

The failed drug test was taken after the weigh-ins for his UFC 214 rematch with Cormier. Just like Cormier, Mendez is attempting to hold back the urge to draw conclusions regarding this situation.

“DC” has stated this week that he was unsure of what to think of the positive test and would wait to see whether the initial findings are confirmed.

“He’s going to be known as the greatest who coulda-woulda-shoulda and never has been,” Mendez, the American Kickboxing Academy coach, told MMAjunkie Radio. “It’s just the same like Lance Armstrong. He’s the greatest cyclist of all time, but then they proved he cheated, and where’s Lance Armstrong now? What’s he known as? That’s what’s going to happen here.”

“I was feeling really good about the way he was acting around the fight, so I was thinking, ‘Hey, this guy’s changed,'” Mendez said. “I was saying, maybe this has all been good for him. But I don’t know. Is he really being real, or is he just acting that way?”

“If you want to fast forward, and it’s proven as fact, then I’d be really upset, because you robbed yourself, you robbed the public, and you robbed ‘D.C.’ of the opportunity to find a clean fighter to see who really is the pound-for-pound greatest light heavyweight of all time,” Mendez said of Jones.
