Dana White, the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tries to defend the drug-testing program of this organization. According to the UFC, their most advanced drug-testing program is in North America. Is it actually true? Sometimes it seems that only fool athletes are caught taking forbidden products by the UFC.
There are some agencies that criticize the anti-doping policy of the UFC harshly. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) are chief agencies that criticize anti-doping program of the UFC. But which is the reason? Of course, they struggle for own interests. They try to control testing for prohibited medicines in all professional and amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It is not a secret that steroid testing has become a business that is profitable. Since they haven’t tested fighters for banned medicines, they have lost a lot of money.
But there are also several real problems linked with the UFC steroid policy that should be taken in consideration. Travis Tygart, the CEO of the WADA, announces that drug testing of the UFC isn’t proper. It goes without saying that the WADA has the best anti-doping policy. The UFC anti-doping program can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. Travis Tygart confirms that the UFC put efforts to look better than they are in reality. The CEO of the WADA confirms that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own steroid testing program and doesn’t agree to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did an immense mistake, claiming that steroids represent a great problem in this sport. Thus, it was hurt good public impression about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created perception that their anti-doping policy has been very effective.
A question appears: Does Dana White have ability to show that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
