I'm not a doc but Heroin like Morphine or Vicodin is an opioid and highly effective against pain. Morphine use in hospital is regulated (I think there is a limit per day to avoid dependence) and works well because it's the most efficient product against it. The docs who made the study explained their process which seemed pretty just.

Here are the tables of the study in the thread I created about it if you're interested :
Morphine is regulated because
(1) It is a narcotic, and every vial needs to be accounted for...

(2) It can suppress your reflex to breathe, and put you in respiratory distress...

(3) Addiction is the least concern when people are in physical pain...Most people who take morphine after surgery don't get addicted...

(4) There is no ceiling to how much morphine a person can get (if they are not allergic)...The dose can always be increased, taking into account sedation and respiratory distress...

(5) Opioids are UNDER prescribed by physicians...People are suffering for no reason, because Docs are too afraid to give the proper doses...

Just passing on the knowledge...

jones likely had zero say in going to rehab. the ufc probably forced him to go to rehab as part of their "code of conduct" thats written into the fighters contracts. the ufc is the one doing it for the PR. doesnt hold water tho since they let him fight so they could pocket that ppv revenue, showing its not about the "code of conduct" at all, but like any other corporation is only about the money. i dont really read anything in mma circles, websites and all of that. but its pretty remarkable what little the ufc continues to pay these fighters in comparison to the shyt tons of money they bring in with zero media backlash that i have seen. fukking pieces of shyt from the top on down in that organization. fighters making 5k and shyt for a fight on some of these ppvs. absurd

I've always felt like UFC is a seedy organization in a dirty business(MMA) in general.

I wouldnt be surprised if he did use coke before the fight and they knew about it. But taking the belt away would ruin the result of this hole 5-6 month buildup that UFC made a ton of money off of.

I think DC could prob sue the UFC and win if he wanted.
That they withheld the information from him and knowingly let him fight a person they knew failed one aspect of the test, I think he could get a few mil from that even settling out of court.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Again.....Cocaine is not going to make you a better fighter.....It will not prevent or make it more difficult for your lights to go out or being choked out..
neither will steroids so what's your point?

a lot of the shyt that is banned... has to do with recovery and healing ailments that naturally don't heal that fast


you break a leg and have to heal naturally it could be 6 months... but you inject steroids in your leg daily, and suddenly you back in 3 months chilling

doctors give steroids out for damn strong colds... to kids.. so don't think it's all about he's getting bigger and this gives an advantage


if you out there coked up... taking 5 shots to the face that normal people would back up and be like "damn that hurts" but you so damn numb you just eating them joints up while walking forward... well how's that fair
