The president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White tries to defend the anti-doping program of this organization. According to the UFC, their most advanced testing program for steroids is in North America. Is it really true? Sometimes it seems that only foolish sportspersons are caught using prohibited preparations by the UFC.
There are several agencies that criticize the anti-doping policy 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 agencies that criticize anti-doping program of the UFC. But why do they do it? Undoubtedly, they struggle for own interests. They try to manage drug testing 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 banned preparations, they have lost much money.
But there are also certain real problems linked with the UFC anti-doping program that should be observed. The CEO of the WADA Travis Tygart announces that steroid testing of the UFC is not appropriate. It goes without saying that the WADA has the most appropriate anti-doping program. The UFC drug-testing 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. Travis Tygart claims that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own drug-testing policy and doesn’t desire to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did a huge mistake, announcing that steroids represent an essential problem in this sport. Thus, it was hurt good public impression about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created perception that their anti-doping policy has been very effective.
A question appears: Does Dana White have capacity to display that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
