Jake Paul and Nate Diaz agree to drug testing after trading steroid accusations

Jake Paul and Nate Diaz will undergo strict VADA drug testing for their upcoming fight this summer after an heated back-and-forth on drug use, Mirror Fighting understands.

Both men have accused the other of offences related to doping in previous fights, despite neither having ever failed a drugs test under VADA, USADA or any local commission testing. But sources have confirmed to Mirror Fighting that both men will sign up to the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency, who will randomly check for any infractions before their August 5 bout.

Paul previously competed full VADA testing for his fight with Tommy Fury back in February, while Diaz underwent stringent random USADA checks as a UFC fighter for the last seven years. But that didn't stop either man from accusing the other of using performance enhancers in aggressive tweets this week.
