NSAC Explains Nick Diaz Could Have (But Didn't) Request Exemption For Marijuana Use

Not at Kizer directly, but at the commission. Also, not from me but from everybody crying about how he has a exemption elsewhere and wasn’t allowed it there. A constant complaint among the hundreds of excuses.

Even though he never applied apparently…

Honestly, that isn’t even close to what I was saying there. In fact, I was very adamant in the other threads that I completely disagree with his usage at all and that it doesn’t bother me in the least to see him in trouble for it.

No clue where you got that I was defending Diaz from that.

Smoking pot once would clear out within a day or two for most people.

Its all about the % of body fat the person has.

I used to get test weeks. I was smoking very heavily at the time(like a good NorCal boy). I could smoke for a week then go off for a week and be completely clean.

I had even been tested while stoned after weeks of extremely heavy smoking and tested lower than people who barely smoked at all.

He’s had no problems in 5 years using that system.

I’m inclined to believe he smoked after the 10 day period.

Cesar worked a deal that got him out of that contract and a guaranteed title fight against GSP, which he was reportedly going to make around 2 million dollars for according to Meltzer and some other journalists.

I really don’t know how these guys think he could be making more with someone else when he’s already one of the highest paid non-champions in the sport. The rematch with Carlos would have netted him over a million dollars.

I highly doubt another manager could even work with him. People forget the whole “I went to pick him up at his house but he jumped out the window” thing.

Even if you hold Nick’s hand(like the UFC and Cesar both do), you can’t force Nick to do anything rational.

You can lead a crazy horse to water but you can’t him drink.

You saw a manager’s fighter get kicked out of a title shot

Are you talking about the title shot he just lost?

Bottom line: Nick is getting huge money fights, a ton of publicity and all on his own terms. Not to mention, Cesar made Nick the fighter he is.

I’d like to know who you think would be better.

NO!!!!

Little boy you’re going to HELL!
You said bad words
threw rocks at the birds
and now this is your hotel!
You aint goin’ back
this aint disneyland
it’s HELL!

That would have been a great argument for a Tue.

I don’t claim to know much about law, but Diaz signed a contract. That contract is an agreement between him and the state athletic commission saying that he will not use banned substances, their time of use notwithstanding. He had avenues to avoid this debacle, and that pretty much seals the deal that he won’t get anything from taking it to court. Just because he didn’t use weed at the time of the fight doesn’t make his case stronger.
