Saw a video on my YT feed for this when I woke up this morning thinking WTF.

I did a quick search on how long it stays in your system. I don't VADA would go straight to a hair follicle test. So, he likely took it pretty close to the fight.
How long does cocaine stay in your body? After your last use, cocaine can remain detectable in your system for weeks. It will remain detectable to tests in your blood and salvia for up to 2 days (48 hours), urine for up to 4 days (96 hours), and hair follicles for up to 90 days.

Facing a two year ban. He's not at an age where he can afford to wait two years. Also he performs better when he's active.

That’ll be his career then. He doesn’t have 2 years to wait around

Is he facing a ban for this? It’s not like it would enhance his performance

The video I watched was talking 2 years. Might be up to 2 years. Also mentioned it used to be 4. I'll admit after while I had that video on as back ground noise.

The Stuff article had the following.
Any potential ban would be handed down by UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC).

Hopefully the second test shows it out of his system and it was a weak sample from a while ago? Really surprised at this from him on his professionalism he displays, not to partake but to do it close to a fight? Would be a shame to see his career finish like this

He missed a random drug test years ago after a fight because he went on holiday and didn’t tell the testers.

His name was bought up in the meth importing case a few years ago…

I wouldn’t imagine with the sort of money floating around that it would be easy to dodge? Ufc seems to let fighters indulge in cannabis being that it’s not going to enhance performance at all and I personally agree that performance enhancing is where they should stop fighters gaining advantage. Not disputing what you’re saying, but innocent until proven guilty in this case is where I’m leaning
