Nick Diaz Sues Nevada Athletic Commission

"The suit is asking the court to immediately stay the summary suspension handed out to Diaz by the NSAC as well as to enjoin the NSAC from going ahead in any further disciplinary proceedings. Diaz's complaint also asks the court to declare his due process rights have been violated by the NSAC's failure to promptly convene a hearing to determine the merits of the disciplinary complaint against him."

Here is the story.

And the text itself:
"COMBS NOW, NICHOLAS DIAZ, and being first duly sworn, swears and deposes as follows;


12. I have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and am in full compliance with the registry laws for medical marijuana treatment in California.
13. As part of my general practice, I discontinue using medical marijuana eight (8) days before any fight. Consistent with this general practice, I discontinued use of medical marijuana eight (8) days before the February 4, 2012 contest in Nevada. I do not believe that this is a violation of the NSAC’s regulations.


23. On February 7, 2012, the UFC’s President publicly announced that Mr. Condit agreed to an immediate re-match against me.
24. It is my understanding that the winner of that re-match will be offered a contest against Georges St. Pierre, the current UFC Welterweight champion.
25. The summary suspension against me, made without any consideration of the merits of the Complaint, is the only reason I am aware of that a re-match against Mr. Condit has not been scheduled.
26. If the summary suspension is set aside, I would be prepared to compete against Mr. Condit or against any other opponent deemed suitable immediately."
