Diego Sanchez Test Positive For Marijuana After Riggs Fight
Quote:
Top UFC welterweight contender Diego Sanchez tested postive for marijuana following his knockout victory over Joe Riggs at UFC Fight Night Miramar in December, according the Orange County Register.

Here’s a snip:

“… Diego Sanchez tested positive for marijuana after his first-round KO over Joe Riggs on Dec.13 at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station. Armando Garcia, the executive officer of the California State Athletic Commission, said Sanchez paid a $500 fine and served a three-month suspension, so he has been cleared to fight Josh Koscheck at UFC 69 on April 7 in Houston.â€



This is the first I’m hearing of the result and I’m pretty sure we — or anyone else for that matter — would have picked up on the news if it were made public sooner.

Of course, Sanchez is a rising star in the division — having him get busted for pot and be suspended for three months is not the ideal image the UFC wants to project.

(The punishment also sounds like a slap on the wrist — three months is normal for a fighter between fights … and $500?).

But, sweeping this under the carpet doesn’t seem to smart, either. Not when he’s about to be the marquee attraction at a major UFC event in a few weeks.

Talk about a distraction … or dare I say it … a nightmare?
How in jesus's name did this one slip by main stream MMA press? well...atleast it proves Diego's more of a fruit then i suspected <_<

Slowed his reaction and he still managed to KO Riggs in the blink of a eye.

Re: Diego Sanchez Test Positive For Marijuana After Riggs Fight
With as much as he works out, he must have just been smoking all the way up to the fight.

But damn, why did it take this long to hit the news?

Re: Diego Sanchez Test Positive For Marijuana After Riggs Fight
Just like so many Republicans looks straight-edge, then we find out their dirty secrets. Little boys, snuff films, drugs.

Everybody tries to hide it.

Re: Diego Sanchez Test Positive For Marijuana After Riggs Fight
You don't want to mess with a burn out. They are bad mofo's. It doesn't slow your reaction time, most vidiots rely on the herb and their reactions are razor sharp like a jedi. Weed=Jedi

Re: Diego Sanchez Test Positive For Marijuana After Riggs Fight
lol it would only slow his reaction time if he smoked right before hand. Even then it just depends on how he handles it. Weed can make you focus very hard on one thing, maybe his is fighting.

Dude, I'm smoking weed for my next fight. These guys are able to KO their opponents in less than 2 minutes on weed.
