It is not a PED the way he used it. (remember he failed a pre fight test)
Could it be used as a PED? Yes.
Is that the case here? No.
If you do blow at a party, that is not a performance enhancer (athletically speaking) AT ALL.
It will lead to a shitty night sleep, sluggish the next day, lack of motivation/depression due to dropped dopamine levels.... not good stuff.
Now, IF Jones had a water bottle in the cage and he drank a little bit of water with cocaine dissolved in it to give him extra energy in the championship rounds... THAT would be a performance enhancer, and while it would be seriously dangerous, it would give him extra energy late in the fight. He could also take a bit more the next break to avoid crashing... it would be super dangerous and pretty much retarded as you would be guaranteed to fail your drug test, but if used along those lines it could enhance performance. You could go from dead tired exhausted to a flash dancing fool in about 10 seconds, it won't last all that long, but with 5 minute rounds.... but that is not what we are likely to be looking at here.
