Like it or not, but snitching is very important source of information. And without offering lighter sentences, how else do you think they would get anyone to snitch?
Everyone seems to think like snitching means throwing another fighter under the bus. But what if it's more significant than that? Like pointing out where all that shit comes from? Because it has to come from somewhere, unless you think guys who get punched in the face on daily basis know how to cook their own steroids. If it's something like that then I'm glad they have that clause and use to to coax Jones to rat someone out. Why? Because:
1) Bringing down some dope business is more important for the sports (not just MMA but others too) than keeping Jones away from MMA for two more years
2) During those two years Jones is guaranteed to fuck up so he'll take himself out of the picture anyway
