Diaz demands rematch: 'St-Pierre was on steroids when I fought him'
The earth is round, water is wet, and Nick Diaz is accusing Georges St-Pierre of using steroids.
Appearing on Chael Sonnen's podcast recently, Stockton's favorite son went on a herculean, stream of consciousness rant that covered a wide range of subjects, highlighted by his continued PED accusations of St-Pierre, who he lost a one-sided unanimous decision to at UFC 158 in 2013.
"I'm pretty convinced about everybody is on steroids. I mean everybody," Diaz said, according to FOX Sports' Damon Martin. "Me and my brother, I don't think Frankie's (Edgar) on steroids, but these guys, a lot of them they're on steroids. That stuff messes with chemicals in your head. I'm just talking s--t on everybody right now cause as far as I'm concerned, everybody's on steroids.
"Georges St-Pierre was on steroids when I fought him."
With UFC 158 being held in Montreal, the drug testing for the event was handled by the Quebec Athletic Commission (QAC). According to Diaz, the commission's methods were subpar, and he doubts they even tested anyone's samples. His proof: He definitely would have tested positive for marijuana.
"They didn't test us because I would have tested positive for sure. I thought it was my last fight ever. What do I care? It's like almost asking too much to win and not give away that fine. I'm like what do I care about the fine?" Diaz said.
"That dude needs to come back and give me another fight as far as I'm concerned. As long as I can fight. They did not test him for steroids for that fight. They did not test us."
To lend credence to his accusations, Diaz painted the QAC as a second rate, Mickey Mouse organization that conducted their business in the stone age compared to what he's used to in the United States.
"I pissed into like a film case, like an old-school roll of film, I literally pissed into a film case and they popped the top and put a piece of Scotch tape over it and wrote my f--king name on it and set it in the little box with everybody's specimen, everybody's piss right there, little film cases," Diaz said.
"When I was fighting in California, the whole WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) thing comes in or whatever and they give you this little case and they pour the piss into that case and they twist it and lock it up somehow. So you can't open it. They have to put it in a machine that opens it. So you can open it. They say 'Here, try to open that' and then they slice like three parts in the tape and they put it over the top so you can't peel that off or change the names or do anything like that. They didn't test nobody for no steroids. They didn't test nobody for any smoking weed out there in Canada."
At the time, the commission revealed they'd tested six fighters for UFC 158, but wouldn't release the names of those screened. Also, St-Pierre, who is enjoying an extended hiatus from MMA, has never tested positive for steroids during his illustrious career.
