Pacman Jones says he never used his own urine in drug tests
==========================================================

Ex-NFL player Pacman Jones previously had been an outspoken advocate of cannabis and even revealed last year that he smoked marijuana before playing in NFL games.

Now in an interview with Deion Sanders, former NFL cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones came clean about how he "cheated" NFL drug tests. He said he never used his own urine in league drug tests.

“I cheated the program,” Jones said on Deion Sanders’ show called “We Got Time Today.” “Like I was really good. People don’t know how smart I am, but like, I can say it now. I don’t play anymore. But like, I’ve never used my (urine) for a (urine) test. Not one time. Not one time.”

Sanders, a mentor of Jones who is currently the head coach at Colorado, then tried to tell Jones how he should "be" about using marijuana, Sanders said. “Hey pop, don’t say it can’t happen today. Because the NFL has made it harder for players to do that. They go in there with you right now, you know what’s going on.”

Jones disagreed with Sanders, a father of five, who doesn’t drink or smoke, wouldn’t let him share more about his cannabis use. “No sport should be testing for THC, and no sport should be testing for marijuana. It’s not part of the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy.”

“Too much of a good thing is a bad thing,” Jones said.
