the cocaine use is a cover up. The real story is Jones potential PED use

[deralict22]

Nothing surprises me anymore, DUI and now cocaine? He's an insecure kid with a child's mentality, he is not a good guy, a poor role model, and bad for MMA. He doesn't deserve what he has.

I don't believe this until I see someone legitimate report it.

MMAjunkie on Wednesday spoke to Don Catlin, an anti-doping expert and former head of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory, and endocrinologist Jeffrey Brown, who runs a private practice in Houston.

Asked to interpret Jones

 

[JABMALASSIE]

I believe that most fighters are on something. Most modern athletes are on something. Football, track, basketball. They know how to beat the tests.

Well you trained harder than anyone else, won the race, and broke a world record...but you once smoked marijuana, listen to ICP and cheated on your girlfriend, so we wont be giving you your gold medal. This is sports, personality over talent!

My best friend works with Frank Mir's father. Mir's father said that almost all pro fighters use steroids.

 

[Luke Rockhard]

has anyone brought up the fact that cocaine use lowers your testosterone? If you use coke, you don't make test. That's a fact.

This is false in regards to how Jones' results look, read the sticky.

No it isn't a fact. Cocaine increases GSH, LH, FSH with no effect on testosterone production.

UFC will fight for their cash cow. But destroy a regular fighters career over much much less.

its genetics gaiz

 

[IMDIYM]

I think its PEDs too honestly. Maybe im wrong.

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

when overeem failed his drug test his t/e ratio was above the 14:1. however jones ratio is LESS than the normal 1:1. why are people assuming jones is juicing when his ratio is not above normal?

Because T:E ratio is not indicative of total Test levels, but it's indicative of whether someone has taken an illegal substance. Low T:E ratio for someone like Jones would indicate he intentionally took a substance to mask PED use and prevent a high T:E level.

 

[AznTrojan]

chael sonnen needs to talk about this

 

[BornPure87]

Man if the sherdog conspirators are right and this evolves into a case of PEDs abuse, I don't have the words to name such shitstorm befalling the UFC.

Its not Jones they are protecting. It is their company. The fallout from Jones multiple problems puts at risk many of their strategic business relationships. The FOX in particular but their sponsors as well.

 

[MMA]

Most drugs, including cocaine, inhibit testosterone production

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Most drugs, including cocaine, inhibit testosterone production

Check the sticky, this is not the case in regard to Jones.

 

[MilesAbove]

Most drugs, including cocaine, inhibit testosterone production

Not anywhere near those levels.

 

[imissWECPalmer]

Yea I know but I think this particular story deserves more attention than its getting. This is bigger than Jones using cocaine.

well, the point of a cover up is to keep it covered up.

don't be surprised if this gets merged with the sticky.
