Jon Jones responds after claims UFC star 'threatened to kill' an anti-doping official when 'extremely intoxicated'

Jon Jones has responded to a report claiming he "threatened to kill" an anti-doping official when "extremely intoxicated" after they tried to carry out a drug test.

According to an Albuquerque Police Department report (AQD) via the Mail Online, police were called over an incident which involved Drug Free Sport International, the body that oversees the testing process in the UFC.

In response to the claims Jones shared CCTV footage that appeared to show the testers amicably leaving his home.

Moreover, he wrote on Instagram: "I want to address reports about me allegedly threatening a drug tester’s life and taking a phone, I want to clarify that there is a video showing both drug testers leaving my home after the testing session, where we exchanged a high five and a hug.

"Although I was frustrated with the unprofessionalism and used profanity out of frustration it ended friendly and amicably, nothing threatening at all.

"I was actually celebrating a friend’s birthday party at my home, and I believe it’s perfectly normal to celebrate in the comfort of my own home.

"I must say, this particular tester behaved quite unprofessionally and even breached standard protocol along with HIPAA laws.

"Throughout my 20 years of being subjected to drug tests, I have never encountered such an incident with a DCO officer before."

As per the AQD, a police report filed on April 5 alleged that an incident took place on March 30 after two drug-testing agents arrived at Jones’ home to collect a sample.

Jones was said to have been “cooperative at first” and went "around the corner" to provide them a urine sample. However, when he returned, he admitting he was unable to urinate.

The drug tester allegedly offered to take a blood sample instead, with the report adding that “Jones appeared agitated” and was “tense and puffed up.”

The UFC star is said to have began asking questions regarding whether "they had money” because he was going to sue them. He then reportedly picked up one of the tester's phones from the table and “started recording them.”

The AQD's report claims that a responding officer viewed the video, wherein Jones “stated something to the effect [of] ‘here’s f****** Jerome and his girlfriend in my garage’ and the video cut off.”

The drug tester further claimed that Jones then put the phone in his pocket before saying: “Why you f****** people come so early, do you know what happens to people who come to my house … they end up dead."

The tester told police she was “terrified” with Jones allegedly standing less than a foot away from her.

She also claimed Jones smelled like alcohol and had no shirt on throughout the interaction.

The 36-year-old later agreed to take the urine test and set the tester's phone down.

At this point the tester claimed she called her boss while her colleague was conducting the test.

As per the Mail, healthcare services program manager at Drug Free Sport International, Pierson Laughlin, confirmed that his agent had reported the incident.
