"I failed my drug test I think for Xanax," Griffin said. "I had a doctor's prescription, I was just, I didn't do it before the fight, I did it the night before, I was nervous and I couldn't sleep."

Griffin's test failure was not made public by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission after the Aug. 2009 event.

Asked why he never revealed this info, Griffin said "What's the point? Why add humiliation to a bad situation?"

Wow, another dipshit who's never had a fight explaining how'd he handle himself better than the guys he watches on TV. How do armchair quarterbacks like you not realize that you don't know what you're talking about, because you've never fucking been in that position? Congratulations, you're the stupidest motherfucker of all time, a walking stereotype of the douchebag fan, and represent everything that's wrong with America. Go drink beer and watch TV some more, and tell all yer friends how YOU wouldn't be so scurred in a cage fight, no sir!

Also, I've stopped taking it because I am on a different anti-anxiety med (Citalopram) under docs orders now do I should have used the past tense for that.

I take it from time to time without a prescription. I certainly wouldn't do it before a fight or driving a car. But after 3-4 hours I can't feel any perceptible effects in work performance or reflexes and I'm almost half the weight of Griffin. Seems like a non issue to me IF he isn't abusing the stuff. By time to time I mean once or twice a month maximum BTW.
