Things just got a bit more awkward for the Jones family.

Just weeks after it was announced that Jon Jones, arguably the greatest fighter to ever compete in mixed martial arts, had failed a drugs test and was subsequently pulled from his UFC 200 main event against Daniel Cormier, Jones' older brother and former Superbowl winner Arthur Jones has failed a drugs test of his own.

Arthur Jones will be suspended without pay from the Indianapolis Colts for the first four games of the season for failing a test for performance enhancing substances, though he will be allowed to train and compete in pre-season. He is eligible to return to the Colts roster on October 3rd.

This news will no doubt lead to further questions as to Jon Jones' denials that he knowingly took any performance enhancing substances prior to his recent test failure.

It is also worth noting how lenient the four game suspension imposed on Arthur Jones is, whereas - if found guilty in due process - his younger brother will be staring at a two-year suspension from the sport.
