Nick Diaz was handed a highly controversial suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Monday. They gave him a five year suspension and fined him $165,000 for his failed drug test from UFC 183.<\/p>\n

Anderson Silva, who was Diaz’s opponent for UFC 183, also failed his drug tests, except his tested positive for steroids. He received a one year suspension from the commission.<\/p>\n

It seemed hard to find anyone that was in support of the suspension. Fighters, fans and media took to social media to express their feelings, which weren’t all that positive.<\/p>\n

Diaz’s legal team spoke with media after the hearing and said that following this they will file an appeal for judicial review, citing that the ruling was not based on fact or reason.<\/p>\n

Here’s what they told MMAJunkie:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re confident that they\u2019ll see the errors of the commission\u2019s ways. You really have a bigger problem here. There are no standard protocols that these athletes are tested for drugs, which every athlete that\u2019s subject to the commission should be extremely worried about that, because you\u2019re going to get inconsistent results.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAny drug testing program in this country has standards of protocol. Go online and try to find the commission\u2019s protocol\u2019s. There are none. And when they do use a WADA-accredited lab, they don\u2019t want to rely on that. So it\u2019s very scary that there\u2019s no review process for these athletes, that there\u2019s no consistent protocol, and that they can be fined and lose their livelihood without any due process of law.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
