Nick Diaz was busted with an in-competition test. Jon Jones was busted in an out-of-competition test.
If Nick Diaz would have tested positive in a similar time frame compared to his fight as Jon Jones, he also would have gotten away with no sanctions. If Jon Jones would have tested positive right after his fight, he would have been punished.
Whether you think its a good idea or not, those are the rules. There are a lot of substances that we normally think of as PED's that are banned at all times, but there is also a seperate list of substances that are banned only in-competition. I'm not sure how long before or after an event it takes to be in-competition, but Jon Jones failed an out-of-competition test.
