Yup. Wtf do these geniuses think they are taking, vitamin water? What do they think are in these supps especially GAT supps which are known as some of the sketchiest around.
This is why we need to take a few more days to pass judgement. In the moment it is always hard to tell what is what. At the end of the day this press conference will mean very little other than change your emotion. No real facts came from this. Jones says he wouldn't do anything to cheat.
I am seeing a lot of "nobody to blame but Jon" on the internet and think that is somewhat myopic. There are two issues here. The result and the timing. There is nobody to blame but Jones for the card being blown up but that shouldn't lead people to totally discount the timing portion and let USADA off the hook. They shouldn't be getting results 72 hours before the damn event. That is unprofessional and amateur hour. Get your fucking timing down. People have already traveled, etc...that is a joke.
I see your point but it's still pretty insignificant in context. Eye poking still doesn't equate to purposely taking a PED to risk all the work he did surviving years of hell and public scrutiny.Knowingly take a substance? Maybe.
Never cheat?... Lol
I'm saying the failed test is on Jon. Maybe I'm wrong and the B comes back clean, we will see. If it's tainted suppliments like Yoel then that kind of thing should be on his radar seeing they train together. I get people make mistakes but at Jon's level and with his past coming into 200 it's crazy to think something like this could happen.
Malki said they're gonna have the results from the B sample test tonight, which is less than 24 hours from when the sample was requested.
Why are you holding USADA to a standard nobody ever agreed to? USADA never came out and said "hey, we'll get tests back within two weeks" or something (at least not that I'm aware of. Maybe I'm wrong on that point?)
They know exactly what to test for now though, it does not need to go through a whole battery of tests
Jon is one of my favorite fighters and one of the best we've ever seen and maybe will ever see, but
@Pitbull3744 is 100% right here imo.
One thing I will give Jones and no one can take away from him is he is def one of the best mma fighters ever. He has made amazing fighters look like nothing. Like you said too bad we might never get to see him reach that upper upper upper level. A two year suspension would literally be devastating to him. Can't fight till 2018? That would be it imoJon is one of my favorite fighters and one of the best we've ever seen and maybe will ever see, but
Of course he got up there and vehemently denied and cried and everything else. Everyone knows from past voluntary admissions that the penalties are always stiff. If you didn't know or you took viagra or you deny, deny, deny you are literally always better off. We may question Jones' legacy because of this, but to believe he's doing anything but lying now is to forget he comes from a family of pro athletes with extensive media coaching and has been through enough scandals already that he's become a spin pro.
I'm sorry this happened because he's on the cusp of being another "I wonder what could've been" like Tyson or other athletes who blew it when they were on top. It would be wonderful for this all to be a mistake just so we could see his career continue, but I sincerely doubt that's the case here.
I get what you're saying, but the problem i see with that now is we will never know if those performances were achieved while he was on Peds. So to me, if he indeed has taken performance enhancers, it seems like an asterisk has been placed beside his name in the record books.
Same as Anderosn I guess right?
Yes. That's the way i see it homie.
