VIDEO | Nick Diaz says USADA showed up to one of his marijuana dispensary signings

UFC star Nick Diaz has not fought since January 2015 and his future in fighting is still uncertain.

The older Diaz brother was recently flagged by USADA for three “Whereabouts Failures,” which USADA stated the following in regards to the violation:

“The UFC organization has been notified that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Nick Diaz of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from Diaz’s alleged accumulation of three Whereabouts Failures within a 12-month period. Diaz, like all other UFC athletes, is enrolled in USADA’s UFC Registered Testing Pool and required to file accurate Whereabouts information in order to be located for out-of-competition, no-notice testing.

“USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of Diaz’s case, who has been provisionally suspended pending the final resolution of this matter. Under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.”

Diaz spoke with My MMA News about the situation and the Stockton native said that USADA actually showed up at one of his marijuana dispensary appearances.

“They know where I’m at though,” Diaz said (transcribed by Jesse Holland for MMA Mania). “Somebody over there is not doing their job. I mean realistically, they showed up to one of my dispensary signings. Like I said, I gotta do what I can with what I have to work with when I’m not fighting. The whole cannabis industry thing is a hit right now, so yeah, I’ll book an appearance over there and I’ll go and smoke a bunch of weed and it’s a good time. So of course, word is out I’m gonna be here, they show up.”
