Mixed martial arts superstar Jon Jones tested positive for benzoylecgonine, the main metabolite in cocaine, on Dec. 4, 2014, a month before his successful light heavyweight title defense last week against Daniel Cormier at the MGM Grand Garden. The commission had randomly tested Jones early in the month as part of its initiative to more stringently fight performance-enhancing drug usage in combat sports. Nevada follows the World Anti-Doping Agency code on drug testing matters. In the 2015 WADA Code, it defines in-competition and out-of-competition testing – a very important distinction. According to Appendix One of the WADA code, in-competition is defined thusly: "Unless provided otherwise in the rules of an international Federation or the ruling body of the event in question, 'In-Competition' means the period commencing twelve hours before a Competition in which the athlete is scheduled to participate through the end of such Competition and the Sample collection process related to such Competition." The definition of out-of-competition is a little easier to understand: "Any period which is not In-Competition." http://sports.yahoo.com/news/why-jo...2-after-positive-drug-test-075021247-mma.html
Because the test was done more than 12 hours before the fight he could not be suspended by the Nevada Athletic Commission and was still allowed to fight. Jones has also checked into rehab.
So that Diaz kid is always getting suspended for weed, but Jones does coke and it's "meh let him fight"? That makes toooootal sense.
Helluva shirtty one. Never understood how anyone could get hooked on it. I mean it's a little fun for a minute here and there but gawd after not very long it just becomes straight misery.
I completely understand how one becomes hooked on it. It was my favorite drug when I did such things. It is misery after the first bump though...you never recapture that first feeling, and all you seek is more of it.
It was simply not something I ever wanted to keep doing beyond a night or two, but if there's one thing I've ever learned in my many years of chemical experimentation, it's that what "works" for one person might well not be desirable at all to the next. Just the way it goes.
That's correct. Coke was always my favorite back in my wild days. Absolutely loved the stuff but a lot of the people I knew preferred other things.
So is the sport gonna suspend Jones or what? And it was a pre-fight drug test he failed, why was he allowed to fight? http://sportschump.net/2015/01/09/world-sports-gets-jolt-three-actually/14944/
Because the WADA rules suck and they probably couldn't suspend him legally. The funny the about the test is that he wasn't even supposed to be tested for cocaine in an out of competition test.
Jones only spent one night in rehab. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ufc-champ-jon-jones-reportedly-spent-one-night-174641356--mma.html
