Jones admits he used inappropriate language, but says the samplers’ visit ended amicably.

Jones verbally threatened to kill a female anti-doping tester at his home in Albuquerque, USA, The BBC reports.
The incident of threats reportedly took place on March 30, when two anti-doping testers arrived to take the athlete’s urine sample.
After the event, the doping testers reported to the police.
In the report of the police department, the doping office had said that the UFC champion was intoxicated at the time of the situation.
