USADA gives Nate Diaz a public warning for cannabidiol use in-competition

Nate Diaz will get a slap on the wrist for vaping at the UFC 202 post-fight press conference.

USADA is giving Diaz a public warning for admitted use of a prohibited substance, according to a release Thursday. Diaz could be seen vaping at the press conference Aug. 20 and he said the pen contained cannabidiol (or CBD) oil. There will be no suspension or further discipline.

CBD is a cannabinoid, one of 113 active cannabinoids identified in cannabis. All cannabinoids are banned in-competition by WADA. In-competition is considered the period beginning six hours before the weigh-in and six hours after the fight by the agency.
