Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor, rest of UFC 196 competitors come back clean in drug tests

Those steroid accusations lobbed around before UFC 196 can be put to rest. So can the curiosity about whether or not Nate Diaz could pass his drug test.

All the drug tests conducted in relation to UFC 196 came back negative, according to the Nevada Athletic Commission and UFC vice president of athlete health and performance Jeff Novitzky. Some of the participants were tested by the NAC and others by USADA, the UFC's anti-doping partner.

In the main event of the card, Diaz defeated Conor McGregor via second-round submission with a rear-naked choke.
