Dana White, the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) put efforts to defend the anti-doping 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 sportspersons are caught taking prohibited preparations by the UFC.
There are certain agencies that criticize the anti-doping 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 program of the UFC. But why do they do it? Of course, they fight for own interests. They try to control testing for prohibited medicines 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 prohibited drugs, they have lost a lot of money.
But there are also some real problems related to the UFC anti-doping program which must be observed. The CEO of the WADA Travis Tygart points out that drug testing of the UFC is not proper. Of course the WADA possesses the best anti-doping protocol. The UFC drug-testing policy can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. Tygart confirms that the UFC put efforts to look better than they are actually. Travis Tygart 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 a great mistake, proclaiming that steroids represent a great problem in this sport. So, it was destroyed good public perception 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?
