but the real problem is... why has there been so many suspensions/penalties for the guys testing positive for marijuana? while cocaine seems to have 0 consequences

because it's the rules of NSAC

the real question is: why are these the rules?

because everything that happened is strictly following NSAC rules (afaik)

the real question is that why are they testing for cocaine when it is not illegal by the NSAC rules?
this just makes the test pointless in its entirety

i can imagnie that they test for EVERYTHING. like: they look at every single chemical in his blood without judging where it might come from or what the source is.

maybe this benzylokon-w/e-stuff that apparently proves the existance of cocaine is also part of other drugs that ARE illegal

so then the question is: why did they report it if it's not against the rules?

dub tee ef?

So Jones AND the UFC have known about this since the 23rd.

Their PR team has had plenty of time to decide what they're going to do, so all of this was pretty much calculated to a tee.

100% they told Jones exactly what to do, when to do it, who to leak the news to, etc.

He's not in rehab because he has a serious addiction by any means, this is just to mend his public image.

is there proof for this?

does the NSAC instantly pass on the results of their tests to the UFC?

I'd assume that a corporation as fucking big as the UFC would be able to find out that their #1 draw and the first person they've ever sponsored failed a drug test the day results come out.

Pot is illegal but wouldn't help in a fight, coke would... dudes on coke are like machines.
