Colts' Jones: I did a bad job checking my supplements

Suspended Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman Arthur Jones says he tested positive for PEDs because he didn't properly vet a supplement he took.

"I did a piss poor job of double checking my supplements to make sure nothing was banned," Jones told reporters, providing no other details about what substance he tested positive for.

If that sounds familiar, it may be because it's almost the exact same excuse Jones' brother, UFC fighter Jon "Bones" Jones, used earlier this month after he tested positive for PEDs ahead of UFC 200.

The Colts lineman will miss the first four games of the NFL season. His brother is facing a two-year ban from fighting.
