yes, cocaine certainly is something that helps athlete's fight better. it is one of the most destructive substances you can put in your body, it is amazing that he still won any of those fights while using that drug. i don't know when it started, but that crap helps nobody do anything but destroy their body.
He left to watch his brothers play in the AFC Championship Game. I don't see an issue with it. It's not like the guy was coked up everywhere he went. Probably went out with buddies and made a bad choice. He's never been popped on fight night for anything. Personally I stay away from the stuff but I'm not really concerned if a guy parties a little too hard every once in a while between fights. Gotta remember that coke wasn't supposed to be tested out-of-competition at all. Who knows how many other guys get popped if they get tested for this stuff between fights. Diaz brothers wouldn't ever make it to fight night if anyone cared about drugs out-of-competition. Much ado about nothing.
Keep in mind this was a test over a month before the fight. Guy just partied too hard. Made dumb choice. UFC wasn't supposed to test for pot/coke during these out-of-competition tests anyway apparently but somehow results got out. It's not like he was using as a performance enhancer. He'd get caught if he used on fight night. A month out is also too early to start cutting weight. Guy just went out and did something stupid with friends at a club.
