The president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White put efforts 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 fool athletes are caught administrating forbidden medicines by the UFC.
There are several organizations 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) are included in chief agencies that criticize drug-testing policy of the UFC. But which is the reason? Of course, they struggle for own interests. They try to control testing for banned preparations 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 prohibited preparations, they have lost much money.
But there are also certain real problems linked with the UFC drug-testing program that must be taken in consideration. The CEO of the WADA Travis Tygart announces that steroid testing of the UFC is not effective. Undoubtedly, the WADA has the best anti-doping policy. The UFC anti-doping policy can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. Tygart claims that the UFC tries to look better than they are in reality. The CEO of the WADA announces that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own steroid testing program and doesn’t want to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did an immense mistake, claiming that steroids represent a great problem in this sport. So, it was hurt good public impression about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created impression that their drug-testing program has been quite effective.
A question appears: Does Dana White have ability to show that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
