Nick Diaz Gets Suspended For 12 Months And Fined 30% Of Purse Plus Bonus

Holy f****** s***!!Are they f****** retards?They gave smaller suspension for roiders but they give 1 year for f****** weed metabolytes.You can have metabolytes for up to 30 days in your body even if you stopped smoking for 30 days.So there’s no way smoking weed 10 days before a fight will still give you some performance enhancement even if I and every smart person knows weed isnt a performance enhancer when trt isn’t considered one.I hope every single person responsible for this decision gets cancer and dies really soon.These people are morons.

fkkkkkkkkkkk the state nevada they are fools bunch of farts

Goddammm all the hate on the SPliff WTF wrong with these people? Roid Ragers gets way lest than that. How the hell a bloke on weed can be considered enhanced for combat? hahahhaha

The world of MMA is lossing one of the most unique and wonderfull mma artist thanks to this moronic unrealistic suspension,to avoid any other comments is sad to not to be able to have Nick Diaz in the octagon,,the most complete and entertaing mmartist of all in his wgt.

Oh really? Of all the arguments you can have for Nick, you pick the “fact” that marijuana is not a PED? Well you chemist geniuses, it is an inhibitor and it is illegal… so you are retarded and have no argument, you are all just bitching.

How about you don’t use roids or marijuana idiots! It’s illegal and against the rules so if you want to keep your very lucrative job then don’t do it, its that simple. Don’t hate on the other guy that got busted and less than you. That’s like rating on your partner in crime just because you got caught and he didn’t. Where is the honor in that? If you cant do the time, don’t do the crime!

@ Please…so what are you trying to say?

The main point it appears people are trying to make is:

The judgements handed out to roiders (a clearly accepted illegal PED with supposedly many strength, athletic, endurance etc benefits):

Compared to the judgement handed out to Diaz concerning cannabis a drug that is debatable in terms of its performance enhancing, one that is def. not commonly acknowledged as a PED but currently more of a personal choice recreational drug:

Are inconsistent and unjust.

What’s your point?

That you’re a b***h that cowers and accepts the “drugs are bad mmmkay” line from the Gubmint Health Racket that the NSAC is trying to reinforce?

You clown.

You’re probably some low level pencil pusher despot in some dead end meaningless state agency bureaucracy.

Please elaborate on how you consider cannabis to “enhance” and athletes performance in MMA?

Please explain how the disparity in punishment is justified in your opinion or something you condone Mr. “it’s illegal”

I want 1 year for Jon Bones Jones, 1 year for Overeem, etc… this is insane.

I do not smoke weed.

Clearly, weed does not help in a fight. It is far less destructive than alcohol and actually has some strong medicinal value.

I just don’t blame Nick anymore for leaving. F*** the Nevada Comission… we just lost an amazing talent for no good reason.

^^^ RONDONG and Please… You guys that are bringing up the obvious about pot being illegal are idiots. The point that people are trying to make is that it is absolutely insane that steroid users (who are damaging their bodies/potentially endangering their opponents) are getting punished less than someone who is obviously not enhancing his performance at all. Everyone understands that both are illegal so stop being conservative condescending douche bags and acting like people don’t get that. You sound like the old ignorant generation.

If a law as dumb as this should be enforced, then so should other Nevada laws like in Elko, where everyone walking the streets is required to wear a mask. Or how about in Eureka, Nevada men who have mustaches are forbidden from kissing women.

Just because it is a law doesn’t mean it isn’t dumb and nonsensical. Most of us are aware how broken this system is, why try and push it if it doesn’t make sense? Stupid laws passed by stupid idiots.

Retarded ? YES! To give Nick 12 months for MJ MB`s is lame but he got the extreme for trying to sue them. Its bullshit but does it surprise any of us?

maybe because of nicks attitude they were more harsh,who knows.i don’t agree with a more strict penalty for weed,thats ridicules.

If everyone understood that it’s illegal and you shouldn’t do it if you want to compete a pro level; than you wouldn’t be bitching about decicions, you’d be doing something useful like outlining a plan to legally get the PED list that the NSAC checks fighters for changed.

The “it’s illegal” line is bad on different levels

1) The cops haven’t come to bust down his door and arrest him because it is NOT illegal to have THC in your system anywhere in the US. It’s a rule for fighting in NV that you don’t have it in your system.

2) dumb laws with lots of moneyed interests behind them NEVER get changed by voting or writing letters. Breaking these laws is the only way and becomes morally right. If you don’t want to smoke pot, burn your draft card or own slaves, at least stop siding with the authoritarians demanding that you turn in your fellow man. Let the courageous be free and set an example for us

great we just lost Nick Diaz as a fighter.

@2e1y8dfh U dumb C***, testosterone IS A STEROID. SO how did his Testosterone get elevated? By magic ferries? No crack head, by taking it u dumb ass! His nut sack didnt produce those hign levels, so he took TESTOSTERONE STEROIDS to get the hormone levels higher….wow… incredible how ignorant some people are. So in you argument, as long as ur using testosterone, then its not cheating LMAO ..is ur name CHael SOnnen?

Thats BS.

@2e1y8dfh ….Stupid-retard is a double negative, go to class!

I just want to see Nick Diaz fight.

this is f****** bullshit the world is ending in december so diaz will never fight again. he should just whup all of nevadas asses

Do we get to suspend Joe Rogan for a year from broadcasting?

This is ridiculous. The commission has their head crammed firmly up their collective asses.

A year for weed? Really?

I’ll be Jon Bones Jones gets off easy on his DUI where he endangered others’ lives.

Just for the record- “Stupid retard” is not a double negative. It is redundant though. If the commission said that no fighters can eat red skittles and you get caught with red skittles, what should happen? If you don’t like the rule- change it or get out of the sport- don’t break it and act like everyone else is wrong. This is also a good lesson to everyone for not being a dick just to be a dick. Diaz gets no love from ANY authority figures because he already told them that he doesn’t care what they say. Character and remorse are taken into account I’m sure.
