I don't think he'll get a suspension, hopefully they show(ed) up at his hotel room, did their dirty business & then left.
Knock on wood.
(Real wood, not your USADA boner you nasty man)
Nick is awesome. I bet USADA took him up on that. I know I would.
doesnt matter. if you refuse to provide a sample, providing one 6 hours later doesnt get you off. that may just keep him at the 2 year end of the penalty rather than 4 year.
6 hours, you can drink a shed load of water and flush. hes screwed
really? cool. he needs to chill out. and know about the whereabouts failure. you CAN not show up for like 2 tests in a year, so there's thatThis is not all of the videos, Nick has since posted a few where USADA showed up and tested him. So he should be all set. Marijuana is not banned out of competition.
from the other thread, transcript of sorts
Video 1:
The usada rep is on some sort of intercom system and Nick is like "i want to go to bed, ive just got in, i want to go to sleep, come back in 6 hours"
The rep repeatedly tells him over the intercom "if you dont provide a sample now you are liable to a 2 year suspension"
Nicks like "a what, come back in about 5 or 6 hours, whats the problem"
Usada rep "thats not acceptable nick, if you refuse to provide a sample you an be suspended for 2 years"
Nick " well what about tomorrow, ive been out all night, I have shit to do this week, i wanna wake up like 2pm,"
Usada "well you need to tell your agent you refused a visit"
Nick "no you call my fucking agent"
Video 2:
This is assumedly some time later and nick is sat in what appears to be some sort of hotel room.
NIck "motherfuckers, im not doing no steroids, if they wanna come in and smoke some weed im up for that"
Nick "ive told them im in room number 729 come drug test me motherfuckers im ready"
So yes. looks like Nick refused the test.
From the anti doping policy
2.3 EVADING, REFUSING OR FAILING TO SUBMIT TO SAMPLE COLLECTION

notification as authorized in this Anti-Doping Policy.
10.3.1 For violations of Article 2.3 or Article 2.5, the period of Ineligibility shall be a minimum of two years
up to four years.
Nick wont be fighting anytime soon. idiot.
really? cool. he needs to chill out. and know about the whereabouts failure. you CAN not show up for like 2 tests in a year, so there's that
and that's a loss to dimspace, too
Nope, they called Nick on the phone 2 hours ago, and they just took a sample from him about 30 minutes ago, so it sounds like he should be all set.
Sorry your USADA suspension dreams have been dashed, guess you will have to go fap to old Bork Lazer stories.
I mean, what I meant was, if one day he's just in a random place and is, I don't know, completely stoned or just fed up with something, he can just not answer USADA at all and I think that would be a whereabouts failure. he can do that twice in 365 days, if I'm not mistakenFrom what I understand, it's not a violation of the bullshit 'whereabouts policy' as long as you are within a certain time range. In other words, they show up at your door, you are not there, they call you, but if you are somewhere reasonably close by, then you come back or they come to you. That's if I understand it correctly.
This is not all of the videos, Nick
has since posted a few where USADA showed up and tested him. So he should be all set. Marijuana is not banned out of competition.
