The president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White tries 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 athletes are caught administrating banned medications 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 main agencies that criticize anti-doping policy of the UFC. But which is the reason? Undoubtedly, they struggle for own interests. They put efforts 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 has become a business that is profitable. Since they haven’t tested fighters for banned medicines, they have lost a lot of money.
But there are also several actual problems connected with the UFC drug-testing policy which must be observed. Travis Tygart, the CEO of the WADA, announces that steroid testing of the UFC is not effective. Undoubtedly, the WADA has the most appropriate anti-doping protocol. The UFC anti-doping program can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. Tygart claims that the UFC tries to look better than they are actually. Travis Tygart 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 a great mistake, announcing that steroids represent an essential problem in this sport. So, it was destroyed positive public perception about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created impression that their anti-doping policy has been very effective.
A question appears: Does Dana White have ability to show that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
