Dana White doesn’t want to eliminate doping from MMA

The UFC president Dana White supposes that a lot of MMA fighters take marijuana. He is troubled by this issue. While anti-doping organizations try to eliminate usage of steroids and other doping products, Dana White claims that it is needed 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 taking anabolic steroids and/or other related products are sentenced to suspensions from competitions. Which sanctions are for those who are caught taking recreational drugs? You should know that the punishment is the same.
Don’t you wonder how many athletes are caught using marijuana and/or other related drugs, if random testing for recreational drugs will be established in the UFC?
475 fighters have contracts with the UFC. It is supposed that if random testing is conducted, about 80% of these fighters will test positive for 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 eradicate doping from MMA. They consider that the UFC should have the same anti-doping program like other sports organizations have. But Dana White doesn’t want to sign a contract with the USDADA and the VADA. He notices that the State Athletic Commission test fighters for forbidden substances. It is enough in order to clean the UFC from administration of banned products, according to the UFC president.
It becomes evident that the UFc president doesn’t plan to clean MMA from doping. Previously he has pronounced some affirmations for support of testosterone replacement therapy among fighters. He has affirmed that any fighter should use anabolic steroids under instructions of his physician, if he has low testosterone levels. Athletes must obtain therapeutic use exemptions in order to compete professionally while administering some steroids. But it is possible to notice that therapeutic use exemptions often serve as an excuse for doping. A lot of top fighters have gotten therapeutic use exemptions and take steroids while fighting. So, doping continues to prosper in MMA.
Why doesn’t Dana White put efforts to eliminate doping and smoking pot from MMA? Think logically! The war on doping and smoking will influence on business negatively.
