Dana White, the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) put efforts to defend the anti-doping policy of this organization. According to the UFC, their most advanced drug-testing program is in North America. Is it really true? Sometimes it seems that only fool fighters are caught administrating prohibited medicines by the UFC.
There are certain organizations that criticize the anti-doping program 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) belong to main organizations that criticize drug-testing program of the UFC. But which is the reason? Undoubtedly, they struggle for own interests. They put efforts to manage testing for forbidden medications in all professional as well as amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It is not a secret that steroid testing has become a profitable business. Since they haven’t tested fighters for prohibited drugs, they have lost a lot of money.
But there are also some actual problems connected with the UFC drug-testing program which should be taken in consideration. Travis Tygart, the CEO of the WADA, claims that steroid testing of the UFC isn’t proper. Undoubtedly, the WADA possesses the best anti-doping protocol. The UFC anti-doping policy can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. The CEO of the WADA notices that the UFC put efforts to look better than they are actually. Travis Tygart claims that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own drug-testing policy and doesn’t want to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did a huge mistake, confirming 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?
