Its a chronic problem with him
Well done, sir.
MmaWeekly - According to Bill Douglas of CSAC on Diaz-Hieron fight "To say this bout is on "life support" is the understatement of the year."
Mma Weekly - CSAC says Jesse Taylor has been approved to face Jay Hieron at Saturday's Strikeforce Event
JESSE TAYLOR?!?!?!?!? LOL @ that being the best fighter they could find...
7 straight wins outside the UFC...he's rollin'...
Nick Diaz Does Not Get License is Off Strikeforce Card; Jesse Taylor vs Jay Hieron Instead
Bill Douglas, Assistant Executive Officer of CSAC, on Saturday informed MMAWeekly.com that Diaz had not been licensed and the situation would be "a challenging process."
On Monday, Diaz's manager, Cesar Gracie, said his fighter had an informal agreement with former CSAC executive officer Armando Garcia that precluded random drug testing. Diaz, a resident of Stockton, Calif., currently holds a medical marijuana license under the state's Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and Medical Marijuana Program Act. Garcia departed the agency last November.
"They changed it without any notification," said Gracie. "No one had any time. The old guys were doing things based off of California law, and I knew California law didn't change. He's licensed... it's legal. They're own legal team came out with a ruling that said (compassionate use was allowed). Then all of a sudden they're saying we're doing drug tests, and cannabis is included, it's not just performance enhancers. To flush it out of his system, it takes 10 days, and we don't have that."
This is a tough one. He holds a legitimate medical card for it, he uses it naturally for ADHD (rather than medicating himself with pills)... but man. If you know you've got a fight coming up and they'll nail you for it, can't you lay off the stuff for two weeks? Have some self-control.
The "Fedor Curse" officially begins...
Original card:
Female 145 Pound Championship
