Nick Diaz Tests Negative For Drug Abuse
Nick Diaz Tests Negative For Drug AbuseNick Diaz's drug tests results came back and this time, he passed. Bill Douglas, CSAC's Assistant Executive Officer, was asked via e-mail about the results and stated they are negative.

Snippets of the interview, thanks to MMAWeekly, were as follows: "Diaz was fine," wrote Douglas via email. "The test went through a full battery which checks for cleansing agents."

Nick Diaz, who after demolishing Takanori Gomi in PRIDE and then failing a post-event drug test for marijuana, gave this interview to the LaTimes: "I can pass a drug test in eight days with herbal cleansers. I drink 10 pounds of water and sweat out 10 pounds of water every day. I'll be fine."

After seeing the results, reading this interview, and combine it with his past, it begs the question of did Nick fool the test? Given that he has been suspended in the past for marijuana, one would hope that he learned his lesson. Let's just hope that these results hold up as he deserves to keep this victory after the stellar performance he put on against an MMA legend.
