Back before 2008, Angel Heredia was supplying performance enhancing drugs to make sure that the athletes who were on top of their sports, stay on top. We’re talking even Olympic-level athletes. He was eventually forced to cooperate in court by becoming a chief witness<\/a> for the U.S. Justice Department. All this to say, Heredia knows this enhancement game in-and-out. Now, he has joined Jon Jones’ defense team as a legal adviser and spoke to Submission Radio<\/a> on why he thinks his testing procedure doesn’t add up from an expert’s perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf somebody takes a designer [steroid] and they pretty much identify any of it\u2019s metabolites, they would pretty much know what steps to follow next, and eventually they will break it down and they will come out with the name of the structure that was not identifiable at the time. So, at this point there\u2019s nothing like that. Pretty much, they\u2019re accusing [Jon Jones] of one particular metabolite. They\u2019re not accusing him of six different metabolites. One single metabolite. And that metabolite is the one that stays up to seven weeks. So frankly, to me, it\u2019s backwards. It doesn\u2019t make any sense.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
