LOL Diaz is pathetic just like his fans. Dude is a ****ing cheat and this puts a question mark over his whole career. I thought it was suspicious that he was a bum ass journeyman but then all of a sudden starts winning big fights then taking a couple years off to do a few cycles before his comeback. Typical wannabe gangster but I am sure all his fan boys will lap up his BS excuses.
Obviously Nick and Nate smoke pot but anybody with a clue on the subject knows they are very particular about natural products they put into there body and there is close to 0% chance that Nate is a drug cheat or would knowingly put any of these products into his system. So many others who have failed these pre fight tests have knowingly fought anyway but Nates reputation means more to him then his fight purse which is why getting on the front foot to clear his name. Of course there will be fools like the 1 who posted above me who has no idea yet couldn't wait to come in and talk ****
Bahahaha typical fan boy response. You act as if you know Nate personally LOL. The dude is a ****ing cheating scum bag. How can you say there is 0% chance? Dude has been caught red handed. Just because he is your hero it doesn't mean you know him.
It's hard to know what to think. On one hand I'm never shocked when a pro athlete pops for PEDs, but on then again, Nate has been so stridently opposed to PEDs. Then again, his buddy Gilbert also popped, so who knows. At the same time, it's not like USADA has turned out to be the great boon to the sport that we all expected: they busted BJ Penn for consuming water wrong, roasted Machida even when he tested negative, and off course several dozen other cases that are sketchy as hell. Anyway 'high levels' is way too vague for me to try to figure out what's going on here
Who cares? Call Leon Edwards up. He's a better fighter than Diaz anyways plus they have beef. Fight would still do really well. This was a fight for the casuals anyways because anyone with real knowledge of the sport knows it a squash match. Diaz simply isn't on gamebreds level.
Psychological projection. a lot of these guys vehemently against PED use have either done them in the past or are currently on them. Not sure what happened here as theres still not a lot of info but it wouldn't surprise me if Diaz is guilty.
I just heard that Nate's levels were so low that he isn't even provisionally suspended. Nate's social media post references some authority (UFC? USADA? not clear who) telling him to just fight and deal with the fallout later. This sounded similar to the situation where Vitor Belfort had a test come back with all sorts of interesting stuff in it before the Jon Jones fight and the UFC brushed it under the rug for years. But apparently this isn't at all the same thing. Apparently everyone is happy to have him fight while this is sorted out, because all relevant authorities believe there is good reason to believe that it was not used intentionally and it is unlikely to have performance enhancing efect. Nate is the one benching himself, for whatever reason.
