The president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White tries 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 using prohibited medicines by the UFC.
There are certain organizations that criticize the drug-testing 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 organizations that criticize drug-testing policy of the UFC. But which is the reason? Of course, they fight for own interests. They put efforts to control steroid testing in all professional as well as amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It isn’t a secret that steroid testing is a profitable business. Since they haven’t tested fighters for prohibited medicines, they have lost a lot of money.
But there are also certain actual problems related to the UFC anti-doping program that should be observed. Travis Tygart, the CEO of the WADA, claims that drug testing of the UFC isn’t proper. Of course the WADA has the best anti-doping policy. The UFC drug-testing program can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. Travis Tygart notices that the UFC tries to look better than they are actually. Travis Tygart confirms that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own drug-testing program and doesn’t desire to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did a huge mistake, claiming that steroids represent a huge problem in this sport. Thus, it was destroyed good public perception 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?
