Retired NFL star reveals his secret for beating league drug tests
Share and Follow

Retired NFL cornerback Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones never once used his own urine in any league drug test, the 41-year-old told Colorado football coach and NFL legend Deion Sanders.

Speaking on Tubi’s ‘We Got Time,’ Jones revealed his method for beating NFL drug tests during his 12-year NFL career.

‘I cheated the program,’ Jones said, as quoted by USA 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 no more. But like, I’ve never used my [urine] for a [urine] test. Not one time. Not one time.’

The Hall of Famer insisted Jones’ method wouldn’t work now because administrators have sacrificed privacy in order to verify each test.

‘The reason it can’t because they go in there with you right now,’ Sanders said. ‘No, no. They go in there and watch you pull out.’

Jones, however, remained confident the system can be beaten.

‘It can happen if you know what you’re doing,’ Jones told Sanders. ‘Don’t say it can’t happen, pop. Hey pop, don’t say it can’t happen.

‘You still can get ’em.

A devoutly religious player with a reputation for clean living, Sanders has frequently warned his Buffaloes players about smoking marijuana – something that is actually legal in Colorado. Naturally, he tried to shut down Jones when the former West Virginia star tried to offer suggestions on beating league drug tests.

‘Nope, nope, nope,’ Sanders said.

‘The cups they give you…’ Jones said before being interrupted again.

A long-time proponent of marijuana who admittedly smoked before playing in NFL games, Jones stressed to Sanders that THC, the drug’s active ingredient, is not a performance enhancer. What’s more, the league no longer tests for it.

‘They’re giving guys opiates, pain pills, muscle relaxers; you’re telling me that a guy that’s smoking THC that it’s helping him perform more, or are you telling me is it helping his body?’ Jones asked.

Jones recently revealed his support for President Donald Trump prior to the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

Asked at Sports Illustrated ‘s Super Bowl party why he supports Trump, the 41-year-old quickly responded ‘everything’ before adding a brief caveat.

‘95.9 percent things he saying I agree with,’ Jones said. ‘Only thing I don’t agree with is the women’s rights thing, and I think that’s gonna be worked out in the coming future.’

Jones did not say which women’s rights issue he was referring to, but Trump has been criticized for installing the Supreme Court justices responsible for ending protections for abortions rights in the United States.

As for the early weeks of Trump’s second term, Jones remained enthusiastic about the current President – particularly his plans to tariff foreign countries’ goods.

‘F***ing doing good,’ Jones said. ‘Hell yeah, you ain’t happy? We about to tax everybody’s mother***ing a**.’

Although he was an elite cornerback, Jones was also known as a troublemaker in the NFL

Jones’ support for Trump may come as a surprise, given the President’s past description of himself as a ‘law-and-order candidate.’

A West Virginia legend and long-time NFL troublemaker, Jones was regularly arrested throughout his playing career on a series of charges related to firearms, assault, marijuana possession, failure to contact a probation officer and felony vandalism.

In one instance he was accused of grabbing an exotic dancer by her hair and slamming her head onto the stage. Minutes later, a gunman shot three people at the Las Vegas club’s entrance. Jones denied knowing the shooter but was later accused of paying the man $15,000 in extortion. Jones was ultimately ordered to pay the victims more than $12 million.

Although he’s avoided any lengthy prison sentences, Jones did get a year-long suspension from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in 2007.

Most recently, Jones was arrested at AT&T Stadium outside Dallas for allegedly getting into a fight during Jake Paul’s win over Mike Tyson. He’s been charged with one count of assault on a peace officer, public intoxication, and resisting arrest.

Despite his problems, Jones remained a productive NFL cornerback from 2005 until 2018. His best years may have come with the Cincinnati Bengals, for whom he played eight seasons, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors along the way.
