Nick Diaz Fails to Show up for Drug Test

[aseepish]

Nick Diaz claims he's not subject to random drug tests as he uses "medical marijuana."

This may be a legit excuse, but he's been banned from Strikeforce and plans to switch to pro boxing.

LOL at the pot heads. That shit will kill you as slow as cigarettes.

Lets see how is medical marijuana helps him in pro boxing.

maybe if ya didn't insist it had to be smoked the powers that be might let ya do it. i suspect he is wasting his time and hurting his career a Lot

the amazing part is boxing is actually going to allow to fight.

Boxing is suffering from MMA and K1.....maybe they'll do anything to keep potentially good fighters in the sport?

Who cares, it's not like he's doing blow before he jumps in the ring.

Hmmm, instead of style vs. style, it could be drug vs. drug! I'd pay to see that, pothead vs. crackhead.

Go to a seedy area of any of the worlds large cities and you would see that.

It definitely tarnishes the sport. We as Martial Artist have enough to deal with..

I don't know where I stand on the whole medical marijuana debate, but if it has been prescribed by a doctor then it should be OK for him to fight.

Wasn't that Randy Couture's thing about using doctor-prescribed growth hormone, or am I misremembering that?

[Tokyo Kid]

From what I've heard, Diaz can still fight in Japan without having to worry about testing, which he plans to do. I don't know if he will be tested for marijuana if he switches to boxing, but he has been training primarily in boxing these days.

Medical marijuana huh. What a bunch of BS. If the clean fighters can abstain and be successful then he should be able to also. If not give the next clean guy in line the chance to fight in the ring in place of Diaz.
