Dana White, the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) put efforts to defend the drug-testing policy of this organization. According to the UFC, their most advanced testing program for steroids is in North America. Is it really true? Sometimes it seems that only fool athletes are caught using prohibited products by the UFC.
There are several agencies that criticize the drug-testing 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 included in chief agencies that criticize anti-doping policy of the UFC. But why do they do it? Of course, they struggle for own interests. They try to manage drug testing in all professional and amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It is not a secret that steroid testing is a profitable business. Since they haven’t tested fighters for prohibited medications, they have lost much money.
But there are also several real problems connected with the UFC steroid policy that should be discussed. The CEO of the WADA Travis Tygart announces that drug testing of the UFC isn’t appropriate. It goes without saying that the WADA has the best anti-doping policy. The UFC anti-doping policy can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. The CEO of the WADA notes that the UFC put efforts to look better than they are actually. The CEO of the WADA confirms that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own anti-doping program and doesn’t want 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 drug-testing policy has been quite effective.
A question appears: Is Dana White able to display that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
