The president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White tries to defend the anti-doping policy of this organization. According to the UFC, their strictest drug-testing program is in North America. Is it really true? Sometimes it seems that only fool athletes are caught taking forbidden preparations by the UFC.
There are several agencies that criticize the drug-testing 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 agencies that criticize drug-testing policy of the UFC. But why do they do it? Undoubtedly, they struggle for own interests. They try to control drug testing in all professional and amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It isn’t a secret that steroid testing has become a business that is profitable. Since they haven’t tested fighters for banned medications, they have lost much money.
But there are also some actual problems connected with the UFC steroid policy which should be discussed. Travis Tygart, the CEO of the WADA, announces that steroid testing of the UFC is not appropriate. Undoubtedly, the WADA possesses the best anti-doping policy. The UFC drug-testing program can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. The CEO of the WADA notices that the UFC tries to look better than they are in reality. The CEO of the WADA proclaims that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own steroid testing policy and doesn’t desire to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did an immense mistake, proclaiming that steroids represent a great problem in this sport. So, it was destroyed positive public impression about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created perception that their drug-testing program has been very effective.
A question appears: Does Dana White have capacity to display that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
