'Based on these circumstances, USADA determined that a public warning was an appropriate response to Diaz's use of a specified substance during the in-competition period.'USADA may want to listen back to an interview with Nick Diaz, Nate's brother, on The Jasta Show earlier this month. Nick Diaz is only recently back from an 18 month ban for having cannabis in his system during a 2015 drug test. Only last week, the Stockton native was cleared to compete again in Nevada. On his brother's post-fight vaping, Diaz said:
"It doesn't matter because he had already tested. They don't let you go to the press conference until you've already pissed. "That wasn't CBD, he was smoking chronic. He was smoking cush."Diaz says he is open to speak about cannabis with as many people as possible in the hopes of dispelling the stigma of soft drug use. "I do believe they are performance enhancers," he commented. You can listen to the full interview below [the UFC 202 talk is around the 20-minute mark]. https://youtu.be/5dqn8Fc3Fbk
