UFC president is troubled by usage of recreational drugs by fighters

Dana White, the UFC president, believes that a lot of MMA fighters use marijuana. He is troubled by this issue. While anti-doping agencies put efforts to eliminate administration of steroids and other doping products, Dana White says that it is needed to test fighters for recreational drugs randomly. Dana White affirms: “Forget about steroids!” He claims that it is the time to be troubled by usage of marijuana and other related drugs by MMA fighters.
As you know, those that test positive for anabolic steroids and/or other related products are banned from competitions. Which sanctions are for those who are caught applying recreational drugs? You should know that the punishment is the same.
Don’t you wonder how many fighters test positive for marijuana and/or other related substances, if random testing for recreational drugs will be established in the UFC?
475 fighters have signed contracts with the UFC. It is suggested that if random testing is implemented, circa 80% of these athletes 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 promote cleaning it from doping. They think 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 subjects fighters for drug testing. It is enough in order to clean the UFC from usage of banned drugs, according to the UFC president.
It becomes evident that Dana White doesn’t desire to clean MMA from doping. Previously he has pronounced certain statements for support of testosterone replacement therapy among fighters. He has affirmed that any fighter should administer steroids under instructions of his physician, if he has low testosterone levels. Athletes must acquire therapeutic use exemptions in order to compete professionally while applying certain steroids. But it is possible to note that therapeutic use exemptions often serve as an excuse for doping. Many celebrated fighters have obtained therapeutic use exemptions and use steroids while fighting. So, doping continues prospering in MMA.
Why doesn’t Dana White put efforts to eradicate usage of performance-enhancing drugs and smoking pot from MMA? Think logically! The war on doping and smoking will influence on business negatively.
