Why did jones cheat if it had a. Zero impact on his performance since the traces were so small?

I decided to look into it myself, and it turns out he’s actually right. The amount of the substance found in Jon Jones' system was legitimately a picogram, which has been proven to have zero impact on performance. So I’m left wondering—why? Why would someone as talented as Jon Jones risk everything for something that doesn’t even enhance his performance? The amount found was so minuscule that it’s now considered legal, as it has no performance-enhancing effect. It doesn’t give any real advantage in fights, so why would someone with Jones' natural ability jeopardize his legacy over something so insignificant? I understand sports testing can be extremely strict—Chad Mendes, for example, was banned for years over a skin cream. But the steroid Jones tested positive for isn’t something you’d find in random products. It’s only present in certain workout supplements, and he should have gotten clearance before using anything like that. Still, I can’t help but wonder why he’d take that risk in the first place. submitted by /u/Reckox1 [link] [comments]
