The president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White tries to defend the anti-doping program of this organization. According to the UFC, their strictest drug-testing program is in North America. Is it really true? Sometimes it seems that only fool athletes are caught administrating forbidden medicines 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) are main agencies that criticize drug-testing policy of the UFC. But why do they do it? Undoubtedly, they struggle for own interests. They put efforts to control testing for prohibited medicines in all professional as well as amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It is not a secret that steroid testing is a business that is profitable. Since they haven’t tested fighters for prohibited drugs, they have lost much money.
But there are also some actual problems related to the UFC drug-testing program which must be observed. The CEO of the WADA Travis Tygart announces that steroid testing of the UFC isn’t appropriate. Of course the WADA possesses the most appropriate anti-doping policy. The UFC drug-testing program can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. Travis Tygart notes 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 drug-testing policy and doesn’t agree to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did an immense mistake, confirming that steroids represent a great problem in this sport. Thus, it was destroyed positive public perception about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created perception that their anti-doping program has been very effective.
A question appears: Is Dana White able to display that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
