The Nevada State Athletic Commission has reached a new low, Nation.
Just a few weeks after slapping Anderson Silva with a one-year ban for a positive steroid test at UFC 183 — which came following an intense and inexplicably thorough investigation about Thai sex drugs – the commission has suspended Nick Diaz for five goddamn years for his positive marijuana test at the very same event.
Yep, five years. For weed.
Details and Diaz’s reaction to the hearing are after the jump.
And not only that, but Diaz was additionally fined 33 percent of his purse, or $150,000.
