He did not say that the finding was made up or that there was a conspiracy against him. There was a conspiracy but it was one they were trying to *involve him in*, as a co-conspirator, to keep the finding secret until it could be made go away after the fight.
This actually seems like Nate might have had some integrity. His description of the events is pretty righteous.
I'm surprised. Cos Nick, specifically, has been ridic irrational about USADA. He complained for a decade that the sport was filled with drug users. Action is taken. Now he complains about having to make himself available for drug testing.
He said exactly what Jasen said he did.
"I thought it was all made up and a bunch of bulls--- anyway," Diaz said. "It's behind us. Now we can move on."
"It's only cheating if you jump in under the influence of that s---, right?" Diaz said. "So let's just say I did accidentally take some s---, which I didn't. Let's just say I did, though. Well then let's just f---ing fight in a couple of months when the s--- wears off. I have no problem with that. I don't care if it ruins the show. You ain't ruining my whole legacy."
"Yeah, but I don't believe them anyway," Diaz said when asked if the USADA told him which supplement came back contaminated. "It's just a whole bunch of natural s--- I use. I don't know. It's a conspiracy."
"Every time after a fight, relationships change with the whole company," Diaz said. "... Now, what if I win this fight? They can't have a real m-----f---er like me owning this whole s---. Too many people are gonna hear it. I'm not gonna bust nobody out, but I feel they need some type of leverage over me to keep me from being the king of the whole s---."
Oh being "exonerated"...
"Oh, I'm good now?" Diaz said. "This is all just made up. They had it out for my brother for a long time. They had it out for me for a long time. As soon as they could get me out, they could. As soon as they could get him out, they could. I do not believe a second of any of it."
