Nate Diaz drug test clean, but USADA still looking into press conference cannabis use

Marijuana didn't show up in Nate Diaz's system, but that doesn't necessarily mean he won't be sanctioned.

Diaz passed his UFC 202 fight-night drug test administered by USADA, UFC vice president of athlete health and performance Jeff Novitzky told MMA Fighting on Monday night. However, USADA is still reviewing Diaz's use of a cannabidiol (CBD) oil vape pen at the post-fight press conference that night, per spokesperson Ryan Madden.

Though Diaz's drug test was clean, him telling the media he was vaping a CBD oil pen could fall under the "admitted use" clause in the UFC's anti-doping policy run by USADA.
