Nick Diaz Suspended, Fight Ruled No Contest

Apr 11, 2007 2:06 PM Scott White

PRIDE veteran Nick Diaz has received a 6 month suspension from the NSAC for testing positive to Delta-9-THC. Along with the suspension, Diaz received a $3,000 fine and his victory over Takanori Gomi was changed to a no contest.

Alamo went on to say, “Mr. Diaz was 175. This creates a unique situation. I was there at this fight and believe that you were intoxicated and… that it made you numb to the pain. Did it help you win? I think it did.”

In his statements to the commission, Diaz said, “I wasn’t under the influence when I was fighting. I don’t abuse drugs normally; it was a one-time thing. It was very embarrassing for me to test positive.”

The NSAC also suspended Joe Pearson and Kit Cope. Pearson tested positive to Delta-9-THC and he received a 6 month suspension and $800 fine. Cope tested positive for Boldenone and he was suspended 9 months and fined $1,167.

What a total load of HORSESHIT! Change the fight to no contest and say he was high during the fight? GTFOH! Sounds like someone is protecting Gomi.

How many fights have been changed post decision over steriods? Or cocaine? But WEED?!

how are you gonna take that from Diaz? obviously Alamo has never smoked in his entire life.  there is no possible way that being high off weed could help a fighter. Numb to the pain??  what pain,the hurting he put on Gomi?  nonwithstanding the fact that the guys who tested positive for steriods got to keep their W.  it is much, much more beneficial to a fighter to be on steriods than to be high, maybe because smoking weed is about as good for you as smoking cigarettes.  if anything they should consider smoking weed a handicap and be impressed that Diaz could still compete at such a elite level while harming his body.  someone needs to take a serious look at that situation, take the W from the guy hurting his chances to win by taking recreational drugs; but let those who try to cheat w steriods and improve their chances keep their victory.  Alamo is a complete and total idiot and needs to be fired.

someone should make Alamo smoke a joint and ask him if he would like to fight an 8 year old. Not only would he refuse but he would design a new belt for Diaz for being able to fight while high (which I “highly” doubt he was during the fight). Alamo obviously has no idea what he is talking about. And how could you erase history?? Who does he think he is? Is he some ancient warrior king? Does he have his own historian??

BRING DIAZ BACK TO UFC, PLEASE!!.  HOW F’N INSANE IS THIS??? I just can’t belive the ignorance in today’s society, it’s mind binding.


this idiot saying, “you looked high to me”... omg this is worse than boxing with the judges throwing fights, i bet if Diaz didn’t finish off diaz they would of gave the DECISION TO Gomi, i would be my house on that. 

WHEN I GET OFF WORK I’M TWISTING A FATTY TO MY FELLOW NOR CAL BRO!!!! 

note to fighters, TAKE STERIODS AND IT’S COOL BUT DON’T INHALE.
