Eddie Wineland on Jon Jones drug test and fighter pay.

[Was Exiled]

Maybe he'd be making big bucks too if he could win a fight that matters.

The Dana comment is transparent, yes it's PR move and supporting a draw but is just text.

No, it would not be fined, suspended, or fired for a different fighter. Jones didn't break a rule for his sport.

You seem to be missing some details of the situation esp. since you bring up Melvin.

Jones was tested at the beginning of Dec., that's the failed test. That is out of competition and cocaine is not banned in that time period, afaik neither is weed. Jones passed another test later in the month. That suggests it was limited recreational use.

Melvin was busted for it being in his system during the fight and he admitted he recently had used it. Melvin still got a fight after that.

The reason so many fighters get popped for weed is it staying longer in a person's system than cocaine. Also previously the limit was much stricter for metabolites.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Now I know.

Based on his IG post he's a pretty good carpenter/wood worker.

Hey eddie how bout this. You become 6'4 220 with a 84.5 in reach and become GOAT and you won't have to worry about drug tests and working side jobs. Such a bitter human being hating on another mans life.

so much truth

But but but but but Dana said they all get millions in locker room bonus.

So has Wineland been punished for these remarks yet?

Just know some funky shit's gonna happen if a lot of the fighters start in on this. UFC already starting fighter damage control? Tell'm to hush or be punished?

Nicely stated by Wineland.
