    Jon Jones' laundry list of trials has itself another addition.


    "Bones" has been flagged by the USADA for a potential doping violation stemming from a sample collected after he weighed in for his rematch with Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 on July 28, the promotion announced Tuesday.

    He's been provisionally suspended as a result, although he has yet to be stripped of the title he took from Cormier via third-round TKO, UFC president Dana White told ESPN's Brett Okamoto.

    Jones tested positive for anabolic steroid Turinabol, TMZ reports, a substance carrying a penalty of two years for first-time offenders and four for repeaters. The development marks his second run-in with the UFC's anti-doping partner in the past year. The 30-year-old saw a rematch with Cormier at UFC 200 scrapped just three days out when he tested positive for estrogen blockers, an infraction he blamed on a tainted sexual enhancement pill. He was subsequently handed a one-year ban, last month's clash with Cormier coming mere weeks after his penance had expired.

    The oft-troubled New York native has been stripped of the title once before in 2015 due to a hit-and-run incident.
