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 strictest steroid-testing program is in North America. Is it really true? Sometimes it seems that only fool sportspersons are caught administrating banned medicines by the UFC.
There are certain agencies that criticize the anti-doping 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 main organizations that criticize drug-testing policy of the UFC. But why do they do it? Of course, they struggle for own interests. They try to control testing for forbidden medications in all professional as well as amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It isn’t a secret that steroid testing is a business that is profitable. Since they haven’t tested fighters for banned medications, they have lost a lot of money.
But there are also some actual problems related to the UFC steroid program which must be discussed. The CEO of the WADA Travis Tygart claims that drug testing of the UFC isn’t effective. It goes without saying that the WADA possesses the best anti-doping protocol. The UFC drug-testing policy can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. Travis Tygart notices that the UFC tries to look better than they are actually. Travis Tygart proclaims that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own drug-testing policy and doesn’t want to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did a huge mistake, claiming that steroids represent an essential problem in this sport. Thus, it was destroyed good public impression about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created impression that their drug-testing policy has been quite effective.
A question appears: Does Dana White have capacity to manifest that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
