NSAC: Chuck Liddell Passed Drug Test After Incoherent Appearance on Talk Show
UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell was forced to take a random drug test by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after his bizarre appearance on a Texas television morning talk show earlier this month.
And he passed.
That’s the word from today’s Los Angeles Times.
Liddell appeared on WFAA’s Good Morning Texas on March 1 to promote the movie, 300.
The UFC superstar was incoherent and nodding off during the interview. At one point, the interviewer, Gary Cogill, had to shake Liddell awake and ask if he was okay to continue the segment. (You can watch the clip on YouTube.)
The appearance prompted some UFC fans to wonder if the champ was perhaps drunk or on drugs. Liddell’s trainer came out soon after and said Liddell was simply sick, short on sleep, and tired from sleeping pills he had taken.
Concern over the incident prompted the NSAC to issue a drug test.
From the latimes.com (may require registration):
“I had pneumonia and a fever,” Liddell said.
The fighter said he was out late, then took the prescription sleeping pill Lunesta and an over-the-counter dose of Nyquil before waking early to make the television appearance, which can be viewed on YouTube.
“I needed six to eight hours of sleep and only got three,” Liddell said. “They should’ve never got me out of bed.”
Following the rambling, often incoherent discussion, Liddell said he was ordered off the promotional road by UFC President Dana White, and was subsequently subjected to a random drug test by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Keith Kizer, executive officer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, said Liddell passed the drug test.
“He’s been tested several times and has never ran afoul of our tests,” Kizer said. “Chuck was in a weird state on that show. I don’t blame people for being concerned about him, but he silenced his critics.”
Well, there’s really no more definitive proof than that. And I’ll be the first to admit my speculation of drug and alcohol use was completely wrong (though Lunesta is some fairly powerful stuff).
I do hope this story gets picked up by the same media outlets who blasted Liddell earlier this month, as well.
In any manner, I’m off to eat a big bowl of crow.
(Thanks to FightOpinion.com for the scoop.)
Guess he wasnt on the Wacky Tabacky after all

Are you not allowed to smoke at all? Even if he has four months between fights.
Well, since THC can stay in your system for up to 90 days it would not really be wise to smoke it at all. Especially when you have a job where you can be tested at any time really. It is just not worth it.
