Despite testing positive in his UFC 232 VADA test,<\/a> UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was not suspended by the California State Athletic Commission<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man who made that call, CSAC Director Andy Foster went into detail about that decision in a recent interview with Fightful MMA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
