Well the Jon Jones stories just keep surfacing, I can’t say that I’m surprised, and the latest highlights the lengths Jones has (allegedly) gone to hide his addiction.
According to Greg Howard at Deadspin, Jones once hid under his training cage to avoid a drug test.
“I think he has a problem,” someone close to Jones told me last week, adding that it was unlikely Jones would get real help. “He doesn’t have the right people around him.” (Jones’s manager, Malki Kawa, persistently comes up as the worst of his influences, which probably isn’t a surprise to anyone who’s ever had to deal with him.)
There are a lot of questions here, ranging from the absurd—did Jones really hide under the cage when a tester showed up at his gym unannounced, as the rumor has it?”
Well its safe to say that Jones isn’t taking this matter seriously and him leaving rehab to end the AFC championship game on Sunday is only the first of many examples.
Until he is punished or stripe dog his title, don’t hold you breath, Jones will continue to live the fast life.
