Common sense here goes a long way. Dude test positive for a substance in December that is not a performance enhancer, but actually effects the cardiovascular and muscular systems in a negative way if used daily. Kicks this awful disease 4 weeks prior to the biggest fight of his career while in the middle of a training camp then goes out and kicks DC's ass for 5 rounds. Is sent to rehab then given the boot 24 hours later.
Yeah, dude just likes to party a bit hard on occasion. Nothing more, nothing less.
I'm not emotionally invested in the guy either way, but I do enjoy watching him fight since he is damn good so I don't care if he's an addict or not. I'm just putting things in perspective here.
IMO Dana played it up a bit to garner some sympathy for him as a victim that is trying to over come his demons rather than saying dude when out had a few drinks and a few lines at the club.
