Former NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones revealed he used someone else's urine to pass drug tests during his 12-year career. He claimed he never faced punishment for marijuana use, despite smoking regularly while playing. Jones discussed his methods on Deion Sanders' show, stating that he was able to avoid detection. He noted that the NFL's drug policy has changed significantly since his playing days, with relaxed rules on marijuana use. In 2020, the NFL raised the threshold for positive THC tests and eliminated suspensions for positive results. Recent updates further increased the threshold and reduced fines for offenders, making it easier for players today.
