Dana White, the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) put efforts to defend the drug-testing policy 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 fool sportspersons are caught taking banned drugs by the UFC.
There are several 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 anti-doping program of the UFC. But why do they do it? Undoubtedly, they struggle for own interests. They put efforts to control steroid testing in all professional and 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 prohibited medications, they have lost much money.
But there are also several actual problems linked with the UFC steroid program that must be discussed. The CEO of the WADA Travis Tygart claims that steroid testing of the UFC isn’t appropriate. 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. The CEO of the WADA claims that the UFC put efforts to look better than they are actually. The CEO of the WADA announces that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own anti-doping program and doesn’t agree to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did an immense mistake, announcing that steroids represent a huge problem in this sport. Thus, it was hurt positive public perception about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created impression that their drug-testing program has been quite effective.
A question appears: Does Dana White have ability to manifest that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?
