Kaz Nakamura fails UFC 76 drug test
Quote:
Kazuhiro Nakamura (11-7 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who made his octagon debut with a unanimous-decision loss to Ryoto Machida this past weekend at UFC 76, has been suspended by the California State Athletic Commission for a failed drug test due to marijuana.
According to Bill Douglas of the CSAC, the fighter has been fined $500 and suspended three months, which runs through Dec. 21.
The other 17 fighters who took part in the pay-per-view event all tested negative for drugs of abuse. The CSAC also tests for anabolic steroids and masking agents, though those test results are still pending.
Nakamura, who competed exclusively in PRIDE Fighting Championships prior to signing with the UFC, is known for grand ring entrances; on Saturday, he walked to the octagon holding an ornate umbrella that continually poked fans and ringside personnel. He’s won a big fan following due to his eccentric behavior.
UFC 76 took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., and featured Keith Jardine’s split-decision upset of Chuck Liddell in the night’s main event.

Stereotype much?
They need to alter these rules, marijuana is performance hampering not enhancing.

The fact that his suspention and fine was about half of what Nick Diaz's was for the same offense seems a bit unfair. If they are going to be handing out suspensions and fines they need to do it fairly across the board.

Yeah, but the marijuana could make his moves more artistic inside the octogon.

testing for weed is getting old. aside from, "Its the Rules." there is no grounds for it other then to butt into a fighter's personal life. to me its just an abuse of power by the government run athletic commissions. of course its also getting old that fighters are still testing positive for it knowing the rule and potential fines and suspensions.

Since it is an illegal drug I see the reasoning for punishing fighters who test for it. However I don't think they should change the outcome of a fight based upon it(Diaz/Gomi)...I can't see how it would make anyone a better fighter.
