ATHLETES drinking their own pee is a fluid subject and NFL star Ben Jones is the latest name to sample this unusual beverage.

Jones follows in the infamous path of the likes of Floyd Mayweather’s opponent Juan Manuel Marquez and MMA fighters Luke Cummo and Lyoto Machida.

So why have these stars decided a cup of their own finest is a smart decision?

Ben Jones

The Houston Texans star revealed he drank a cup of his own urine but this was not for any physical benefits.

Jones was willing to try out his own pee to win a bet against his team-mates.

He told The Guardian: “We were having a good time, and whatever makes the team better.

“I was just enjoying it – and anytime I can get a laugh out of it, I’ll do it.”

Juan Manuel Marquez

Marquez revealed he drank his own pee in a bid to overcome boxing superstar Mayweather.

The Mexican said: “This is something I have been doing for the past six or seven fights, and it has given me good results.

If you drink or inject yourself with vitamins, you release them every time you go to the bathroom. Why not put them back in your body orally?”

But the ‘health benefits’ failed to pay off as Mayweather eased to a points victory in their 2019 fight.

Luke Cummo

The MMA fighter, who rose to fame on The Ultimate Fighter, believes there are significant health benefits to the unusual beverage.

Cummo claimed urine “contains minerals, hormones and elements that bind moisture to protein” and said it was all part of the body’s recyling process.
