UFC champ Jon Jones enters rehab after testing positive for cocaine

[Jeff]

Man I hate this, Jon is one tough Son Of A Gun no Doubt. Lets face it people party, they say they found the main drug found in coke, well the way these guys condition themselves for a fight I wouldn't think he was doing it daily but more so he probably did it at a party.

The strange thing is the announcement came just days after he won a huge fight on Saturday but the test was given on December 4th, a drug test can and usually is completed within 24 to 48 hours, so why let him fight ? I guess it really is all about the $$$.

LAS VEGAS – UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones announced Tuesday that he has entered a drug treatment facility.

The announcement came just days after Jones defeated Daniel Cormier on Saturday in the main event of UFC 182 at the MGM Grand Garden in a five-round decision that left many considering him as the greatest mixed martial arts fighter of all time.
But in a random drug test given to him on Dec. 4 by the Nevada Athletic Commission, Jones tested positive for benzoylecgonine, the main metabolite in cocaine.

Tests results were known before but there were many millions to be made so they let him fight.
Myself, I think that Chuck Liddel was tougher back in his prime. I've never been a big fan of Jones.
