You seem pretty sensitive to that for a guy who has been throwing around addict insults. I think it hit too close to home for you
I don't give two shits what you are or aren't against. In fact, I don't even give one!
Now, please get back to Googling porn. The odds of you seeing a vagina in real life are probably slim to none. But I am sure you are just a few videos away from considering yourself an expert
And those 'idiots' are providing a hell of a lot more useful information that you sitting at home Googling stuff you know nothing about from people who have never done it themselves. Were you just that desperate to be part of the conversation or to be an asshole? It seemed like the latter was your primary goal.
And the people saying it was a PED in non-competition situations for actual competition later when clean were the non-users. What a surprise.
Anyone know where the sports medical fraternity stand on this?
If cocaine is not viewed as having any directly applicable properties to sports/sports training then I think Jones's failed test is not such a big issue really.
If cocaine is considered to be of value to a user in terms of performance or of training ability, then you'd have to expect the UFC to strip him and suspend him.
Anyone know for sure which it is? I don't have a clue really, it's not a common drug for a sportsman to be caught with, as far as I know.
Here is an odd documentary on the effects of drugs. They have addicts do a bunch of test sober and then on drugs. The coke guy managed to move a lot more furniture coked up than sober so maybe it is a PED for shit work.

Effects on Performance
The effects of cocaine on performance are minimal and are limited to increasing arousal and alertness with low doses. As the dose increases, detrimental effects such as reduced co-ordination and unwarranted aggression are frequently reported.
Side-Effects of Cocaine
Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
Cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal rhythm of the heart)
Cerebral hemorrhage (ruptured blood vessel in the brain)
Seizures (fits or convulsions)
Confusion, paranoia & delirium
Irritability & restlessness
I do cocke sometimes to enchance everything (except sexual performance).
Simply being on a substance while doing an activity doesn't make it a ped. I've lifted weights while drunk; hit the heavy bag after smoking weed. By your logic, alcohol and pot improves performance.
Because they were idiot drug addicts. Go to bodybuilding gym and ask for some coke to get ripped. You'll make somebody's day (they probably use as well but for Rec purposes).
Lmao this thread is full of 15 year old trolls who've never even seen cocaine in person. Anyone that think they'd be able to fight while on rails has obviously never done any drug.
Sugar Ray Leonard fought while high on cocaine
Laurence Taylor played football while high on cocaine
with a little research you could have quite a list
Huge Jones fan here..
Cocaine IS , and has always been performance enhancing for a pro athlete. It is as effective if not more than roids.
If you don't think it's a PED, you're a massive dork who needs to get their head out of their asses.
Jones isnt a bodybuilder....i don't get your analogy.
Idiot drug addicts? They were at the peak greatness of their sport just like Bones...
So what is he? An occasional idiot?
Id say sugar ray and lawrence were pretty ripped in their prime aswell . So was tyson.
I'm staggered by the number of idiots who think he was doing it right before the fight or during press week.
He got busted on December 4th - a full month before the fight and then tested CLEAN after the fight.
It's not rocket surgery folks.
You do what?I do cocke sometimes to enchance everything (except sexual performance).
I think cocaine would do far more harm than good for training. The majority of the studies on it show that its benefits are more psychological than physical and that many of the physical effects are capable of being very detrimental especially in endurance activities. That said, the psychological benefits are real and that's why it's banned in competition. Out of competition it will harm you more than it will help. In a grueling 25 minute fight like the one Jones just went through, it could be disastrously detrimental considering it's effects on heart rate and heat retention.
