Jon Jones <MMA>does coke and its not against the rules? - insane - 01-07-2015
Jones (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC), who earned a unanimous-decision victory over rival Daniel Cormier (15-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in the Jan. 3 pay-per-view headliner in Las Vegas, has since entered rehab.
Today, he issued a statement to FOX Sports 1’s “America’s Pregame” and apologized (via Twitter):
I want to apologize to my fiancee, my children, as well as my mother, father and brothers for the mistake that I made. I always to apologize to the UFC, my coaches, my sponsors and equally important to my fans. I’m taking this treatment program version seriously.

Despite test results being available prior to UFC 182 (the Nevada State Athletic Commission tested Jones on Dec. 4 and received the results on Dec. 23, executive director Bob Bennett told MMAjunkie), Jones was permitted to fight. Because benzoylecgonine is not banned out of competition by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the NSAC could not halt Jones from fighting at the event, where he notched his eighth consecutive title defense.
The UFC issued a statement praising Jones and “applaud him for making this decision to enter a drug treatment facility.” UFC President Dana White said he’s “proud” of the champion’s decision.

In nowadays everithing is possible. The high rollers control the rules as well so all sports are turning into playgrounds for rich people.
