Random drug testing for recreational drugs will be implemented in MMA

Dana White, the UFC president, suggests that numerous MMA fighters take marijuana. He is troubled by this issue. While anti-doping organizations try to eradicate administration of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs, Dana White notes that it is necessary to test fighters for recreational drugs randomly. The UFC president says: “Forget about steroids!” He states that it is the time to be troubled by usage of marijuana and other related drugs by MMA fighters.
It is known that those that are caught using anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs are sentenced to suspensions from competitions. Which sanctions are for those that test positive for recreational drugs? You should know that the punishment is similar.
Don’t you wonder how many fighters are caught using marijuana and/or other related remedies, if random testing for recreational drugs will be implemented in the UFC?
475 fighters have signed contracts with the UFC. It is supposed that if random testing is conducted, approximately 80% of these fighters will be caught using these drugs.
The United State Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) would be happy to sign a contract with the UFC in order to eliminate doping from MMA. They affirm that the UFC should have the same anti-doping program like other sports organizations have. But the UFC president doesn’t want to sign a contract with the USDADA and the VADA. He affirms that the State Athletic Commission test fighters for prohibited substances. It is enough in order to clean the UFC from administration of forbidden medicines, according to the UFC president.
It becomes evident that the UFc president doesn’t want to clean MMA from doping. Previously he has pronounced several statements for support of testosterone replacement therapy among fighters. He has said that any fighter should administer anabolic steroids under recommendations of his physician, if he has hypogonadism. Athletes must obtain therapeutic use exemptions in order to compete professionally while using several steroids. But it is possible to suppose that therapeutic use exemptions frequently serve as an excuse for doping. Numerous top fighters have obtained therapeutic use exemptions and administer steroids while fighting. Thus, doping continues prospering in MMA.
Why doesn’t Dana White put efforts to eliminate usage of performance-enhancing drugs and smoking pot from MMA? Think logically! The war on doping and smoking will have negative impact on business.
