The results of Jon Jones B sample from a test administered on June 16 has confirmed the presence of a banned substance, United States Anti-Doping Agency spokesperson Ryan Madden confirmed to ESPN on Friday.On Wednesday, Jones, 28, was removed from a scheduled title bout against Daniel Cormier at UFC 200 after USADA informed him of a potential anti-doping violation. Jones requested his B sample be tested by the same lab in Salt Lake City.The B sample that was requested has confirmed the findings of the A sample, Madden said.At this time, it is still unknown exactly what banned substance or substances Jones tested positive for. During an emotional news conference Thursday, Jones confirmed he had been informed by USADA what he tested positive for, but he has chosen not to reveal that information at this time.Per USADA guidelines, the anti-doping organization is not authorized to release that information until the athlete speaks about it. Since Jones and his representatives discussed the testing of the B sample on Thursday, USADA was able to release the result.Jones and his manager, Malki Kawa, have denied all wrongdoing in the matter. A longtime advocate of more stringent drug testing, Jones said he was unfamiliar with the substance or substances he tested positive for and had no explanation for how he could have encountered a banned substance. A positive test for a performance-enhancing drug carries a standard penalty of a two-year suspension.They found something in one of my samples, Jones said Thursday. I dont even know how to pronounce it. Ive been taking the same supplements the majority of my career. Ive been so outspoken about being against any type of performance enhancers. To this day, Im extremely against performance enhancers.The whole thing sucks. Being labeled as someone who would cheat hurts more than anything else Ive ever been through in my career.With the B sample test concluded, Jones is still afforded an appeals process with USADA.The UFC introduced a comprehensive anti-doping program in July 2015. Since the program started, Jones has submitted six samples, according to the USADA website. This is the first time Jones has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. He tested positive for traces of cocaine before a fight against Cormier at UFC 182 in January 2015.Under the anti-doping program, a first-time offense for a performance-enhancing drug carries a standard two-year suspension. When asked what his reaction to a two-year ban would be, Jones said he would return.If I do have to sit out two years, I will definitely be back, Jones said Thursday. Im already thinking about the good that can happen. Im optimistic. But man, at the end of the day, Im a fighter. Im a fighter. Even though I may seem broken up here, Im not broken. Im just really upset.Jones (22-1) was scheduled to face Cormier (17-1) in a fight that would unify the light heavyweight championship. Jones originally won the title in 2011 and defended it eight consecutive times. The UFC stripped Jones of the belt last year after he was arrested on a hit-and-run charge in New Mexico. He pleaded guilty to that charge but avoided jail time.Jones won an interim championship in a comeback fight in April.

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. Liberty Medias investment in Formula One earlier this year triggered a spate of speculation about its plans to grow the sport in the U.S.A. Although nothing has been confirmed, there is hope that at least two additional rounds could be held on American soil alongside the already popular U.S. Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas.Such plans may be a long way off fruition, but we couldnt resist putting together a list of dream stateside F1 venues (no matter how unrealistic they may be).New YorkA grand prix on the streets of New York has been at the top of F1s wish list for as long as the championship has existed. Even in Bernie Ecclestones wildest dreams a race in downtown Manhattan is unlikely, but it was not so long ago that New Jersey constructed a pit and paddock building on the banks of the Hudson River for the proposed Grand Prix of America.A lack of funding saw that plan fall through, but since then Formula E has secured a race in Brooklyn with the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan as a backdrop. With the right amount of funding a race in New York is not impossible, but it will require greater willingness from those controlling the purse strings at the top of the sport.Las VegasF1 and Las Vegas would be perfect partners, and according to Bernie Ecclestone a preliminary contract is in place. But whether the race ever becomes a reality is another matter and once again it will come down to money ... lots of money. F1 last raced in Americas gambling heartland in 1982 on a circuit located in the car park of Caesars Palace, but by all accounts the dull track layout meant it was a huge opportunity missed.Champ Car ran on a pretty wild street circuit in 2006, but what F1 really wants is a race along Las Vegas world-famous Strip. Imagine a night race under the neon lights of the casinos, with sparks flying on the straights and brake discs glowing in the corners. It still might just happen.MiamiWhile were on the subject of street races, how about a race along Ocean Drive in Miami Beach? A twilight race would allow the Art Deco neon to be shown off in all its splendour and fans could go for a dip in the Atlantic before FP3. Formula E currently hosts a race on the other side of the bay, but the track is far too tight and small to accommodate F1 cars. Unlikely, yes, but this is a dream list after all.Laguna SecaStreet circuits are all well and good, but there is no substitute for a true drivers track. Laguna Seca in California is just that, and although short at just 2.2 miles long, it packs in some mind-bending corners. The signature sequence is known as the Corkscrew and features a chicane that drops away on entry, unlike anything on the F1 calendar today.Turns 3, 4 and 5 were all added with an F1 race in mind back in 1989, but ultimately the powers that be decided to take F1 to the streets of Phoenix instead. Former F1 driver Marc Gene holds the unofficial lap record at Laguna Seca, with a 1:05.768 set on a single flying lap in a Ferrari F2003 GA in 2012.Watkins GlenFor two decades this picturesque circuit in New York State hosted the U.S. Grand Prix, but it was dropped from the calendar in 1981 after being unable to afford necessary safety updates.ddddddddddddSince then the circuit has undergone a series of upgrades and currently sits at Grade 2 level in the FIAs list of licensed circuit (Grade 1 is required for an F1 race).IndyCar still uses a layout very similar to the old grand prix circuit, so theres no reason why F1 couldnt do the same with the necessary safety tweaks.Road AtlantaOK, well admit it, the undulating and sweeping corners of Road Atlanta probably wouldnt lend themselves to the best racing on a Sunday, but what a show qualifying would be! The likes of Suzuka and Monaco rarely allow good racing, but their old-school layouts add something that a street race or a Tilke-drome simply cannot.Road Atlanta would do the same. The circuit is currently licensed at Grade 2 level by the FIA, so as long as Grade 1 modifications wouldnt ruin the character of the track, it would be a very welcome addition to the F1 calendar.Long BeachFor eight years the Long Beach street circuit to the south of Los Angeles hosted a grand prix on a challenging and undulating track. The original 1976 layout would still be the dream circuit, with the Le Gasomet and Queens Hairpins separated by a long sweeping straight along Shoreline Drive.IndyCar still races on a truncated version of the old layout and an F1 return has been talked about as recently as 2014. IndyCars contract with the race promoters ends in 2018, so no doubt speculation about F1 replacing it will be fired up again in a years time.SonomaA mixture of oversteer-inducing crests and corners make the Sonoma Raceway one of the more challenging road circuits on the IndyCar calendar. Watching an F1 car round here in qualifying trim would be a treat, and if NASCAR and IndyCar can race on its narrow track theres no reason why grand prix cars cant do the same.Daytona: 24-Hour LayoutAlthough F1 is unlikely to return to Indianapolis anytime soon, there is another oval with a road course layout that is almost as iconic. The circuit used for the Daytona 24 Hours takes to the infield of the famous tri-oval, but also uses large parts of the daunting 31-degree banking. Making tyres that are up to the test might be an issue, but if that hurdle can be overcome F1 would put on a great show for the 101,000-capacity crowd.Virginia International RacewayThis one is arguably the longest longshot on the list. VIR was designed and built by a bunch of wealthy car enthusiasts in 1957 and was one of the first permanent road courses in the U.S.A. It closed in 1974 and much of the space was converted back to farmland, but in the year 2000 it reopened as a motorsport resort.The 3.2-mile circuit follows the centreline of the original track and features a series of fast and flowing corners, with names such as Hogs Pen, Roller Coaster and Bitch. Currently Trans-Am and IMSA Sports Cars are the two biggest racing series visiting the narrow VIR annually, making F1 extremely unlikely.You can vote on our favourite from this list of ten in the poll below:?
