Dana White, the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tries to defend the drug-testing program of this organization. According to the UFC, their most advanced testing program for steroids is in North America. Is it actually true? Sometimes it seems that only foolish athletes are caught taking forbidden preparations by the UFC.
There are certain 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 main agencies that criticize anti-doping program of the UFC. But why do they do it? Undoubtedly, they fight for own interests. They try to manage steroid testing in all professional and amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It isn’t a secret that steroid testing is a profitable business. Since they haven’t tested fighters for banned products, they have lost much money.
But there are also several actual problems connected with the UFC anti-doping program that should be taken in consideration. Travis Tygart, the CEO of the WADA, claims that drug testing of the UFC isn’t proper. Undoubtedly, the WADA has the most appropriate anti-doping protocol. The UFC drug-testing policy can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. Travis Tygart confirms that the UFC tries to look better than they are in reality. Travis Tygart claims that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own drug-testing program and doesn’t agree to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did a great mistake, claiming that steroids represent a huge problem in this sport. Thus, it was hurt positive public perception 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?
