Both bolded items absolutely not true.
Guillard was popped for Cocaine post-fight. I can't imagine he did a bump before getting into the cage, but it's possible. Unless your argument is that Jon Jones' physical makeup allows his body to remove drug-traces over a 25 minute period, you're grossly exaggerating. He could probably get away with a line the morning before Fight-Day - but I can't imagine that being beneficial for the fight.
coke leaves you system in 48 hours pot stays in your system for 90 days
What about the bolded parts was I wrong with??
A month and a half after a puff? Ridiculous. Unless the person we're referring to literally smokes every day prior to this single puff a month and a half before the fight, he's not testing positive. There's no reason to pad the numbers. Light users can rid it from their system in a few weeks. It's the heavy smokers who have month-out positives.
Diaz has his medical card, im assuming hes not a light user, probably daily and therefore it can take 2-3months to be completely out of his system, the commission recently made changes and allow for higher numbers to be in your system and still past the test tho, but regardless you get my point
One of my favorite musicians is Elliott Smith. I have zero interest in Heroin even though he wrote wonderful music with its assistance.
The "think of the kids!" argument is silly. It's just an excuse for poor parenting. "Little Bobby smoked weed, it must have been because of that Nick Diaz!", is an equally ridiculous notion.
That's awesome for you, I agree too, wouldn't bug me one bit either, but not all kids are that strong willed, and its not saying they will go out and buy it cause jones does it, but if they are at parties with people doing it might come to mind anyway. Regardless no good comes from him being a coke head and a face of the sport so I don't know what your getting at honestly
That's not the point you made. You said a business controls a sport. They do not. They're simply the largest of the organizations with more eyes on them. This seems like it's more and more an issue with the "1%". The little guys are punished unjustly, and the big guys aren't punished enough. Except that's not what's happening here.
The cocaine in Jones' system is absolutely an IC/OOC issue. There's nothing else about it. He wasn't supposed to be tested for it, the AC messed up, admitted they messed up, and exposed Jones' private life to the world - prompting shoop threads and fantastical stories of Jones doing lines before walking into the cage.
The athlete was not found to have a coke addiction. The athlete was found to have coke in his system - which alone is not a violation of anything when it's out of competition. The internet took it upon themselves to give Jones a coke addiction. Seriously, we've all seen coke-heads - have you known any who had their lives together enough to be able to not only keep it secret and pass drug tests, but to train for and maintain a championship for beating guys up? He's in Rehab for PR. Just like Tiger was. Are we all going to pretend that Tiger actually had an addiction? Are we going to pretend that now Tiger has no interest in his neighbor's poon?
To say jones isn't a coke head is just your personal opinion, I know lots of functioning coke heads, not champion of the world fighters, but still every weekend and once a week partying doing blow, whos to say hes not in rehab to get off the shit. you honestly have no fucking clue and just sound like you have his nuts on your face. A real PR stunt would have been having him help out with drug programs around the cities, or troubled kids something like that. Anyway your opinions are not facts don't treat them as such, theres more facts pointing to the fact he is in need of rehab, i.e actually going there
Refusal to take the test is an automatic failure, in every drug testing protocol ever. They didn't just make up the infraction. The manner in which Wandy conducted himself leading up to, and after he ran are what resulted in him being banned for life.
