Dana White, the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) put efforts to defend the drug-testing program of this organization. According to the UFC, their strictest steroid-testing program is in North America. Is it actually true? Sometimes it seems that only foolish athletes are caught administrating prohibited drugs by the UFC.
There are certain 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 organizations that criticize anti-doping policy of the UFC. But why do they do it? Undoubtedly, they fight for own interests. They put efforts to control testing for prohibited medicines in all professional and amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It is not a secret that steroid testing has become a business that is profitable. Since they haven’t tested fighters for prohibited medicines, they have lost a lot of money.
But there are also certain real problems connected with the UFC steroid program that must be taken in consideration. The CEO of the WADA Travis Tygart confirms that drug testing of the UFC is not proper. Undoubtedly, the WADA has the most appropriate 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 actually. The CEO of the WADA claims that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own anti-doping program and doesn’t desire 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. So, 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 quite effective.
A question appears: Is Dana White able to manifest that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
