Open Letter to the NSAC concerning the hearing of Nick Diaz

Connor Ruebusch of Bloody Elbow pens an open letter to the heads of the Commission that suspended UFC fighter Nick Diaz for a failed test for marijuana.

To Whom It May Concern,

I followed Nick Diaz's hearing on UFC Fight Pass today, and I can only say that I was extremely disappointed to see such a profound miscarriage of justice on the part of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Not only was Commissioner Lundvall exceedingly rude to Mr. Diaz's very professional counsel, Lucas Middlebrook, but the decision of the Commission seemed only to serve the egos and vested interests of the commissioning body itself, not the athletes it is meant to protect.
