The president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White tries to defend the drug-testing program of this organization. According to the UFC, their most advanced steroid-testing program is in North America. Is it actually true? Sometimes it seems that only foolish sportspersons are caught using forbidden preparations by the UFC.
There are some 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 chief organizations that criticize drug-testing program of the UFC. But why do they do it? Undoubtedly, they fight for own interests. They put efforts to manage testing for banned preparations 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 banned products, they have lost a lot of money.
But there are also some actual problems related to the UFC anti-doping program that should be discussed. Travis Tygart, the CEO of the WADA, claims that steroid testing of the UFC is not effective. It goes without saying that 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 confirms that the UFC tries to look better than they are in reality. Travis Tygart claims that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own steroid testing program and doesn’t desire 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 hurt positive public impression about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created perception that their anti-doping program has been quite effective.
A question appears: Is Dana White able to display that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
