Nick Diaz's Win Over Takanori Gomi Over Turned To No Contest
Quote:
Former UFC fighter Nick Diaz’s upset victory over PRIDE Fighting Championships’ lightweight champion Takanori Gomi in a recent non-title fight has been ruled a no-contest because of his failed drug test, according to MMAWeekly.com.
Diaz, who scored a submission victory via gogoplata over Gomi at PRIDE 33, tested positive for marijuana in his post-fight drug test at the February event. Today, the Nevada State Athletic Commission erased the win from his record and also suspended Diaz for six months from the date of his fight and fined him $3,000.
Diaz had earned $15,000 for the fight.
The severity of the punishment resulted largely from the NSAC’s belief that Diaz was under the influence of the drug the night of the fight, which according to the NSAC’s chair commissioner (in a awkward-sounding statement), helped him dull pain and assisted in the win.
According to MMAWeekly.com:
Apparently, the commission felt that the level for which Diaz tested at, 175, was a considering factor in his performance during the fight. Dr. Tony Alamo, the Commission’s Chair, said that a result of 15 is considered positive, but that the NSAC has a threshold of 50 to test positive for THC and that they “feel very comfortable that everyone that tests positive [in Nevada] is truly positive.”
Alamo went on to say, “Mr. Diaz was 175. This creates a unique situation. I was there at this fight and believe that you were intoxicated and… that it made you numb to the pain. Did it help you win? I think it did.”
The failed test marred what had been Diaz’s biggest win to date.
Now, given today’s ruling, the victory will be wiped from his record completely and changed to a no-contest. The 23-year-old Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu student now owns a 14-6 record, including a 6-4 mark in the UFC.
For more information about today’s hearing, including Joe Pearson’s (marijuana) and Kit Cope’s (performance-enhancing agent) suspensions from failed tests at a Jan. 20 World Extreme Cagefighting event, head over to MMAWeekly.com.
