Dana White doesn’t intend to clean MMA from doping

The UFC president Dana White supposes that a lot of MMA fighters use marijuana. He is troubled by this issue. While anti-doping agencies try to clean sports from intake of anabolic steroids and other related preparations, the UFC president notes that it is necessary to test fighters for recreational drugs randomly. The UFC president affirms: “Forget about steroids!” He states that it is the time to be troubled by usage of marijuana and other related drugs by MMA fighters.
As you know, those who test positive for anabolic steroids and/or other related preparations are banned from competitions. Which sanctions are for those who are caught administering recreational drugs? You should know that the punishment is the same.
Don’t you wonder how many fighters are caught using marijuana and/or other related substances, if random testing for recreational drugs will be conducted in the UFC?
475 fighters have signed contracts with the UFC. It is suggested that if random testing is established, circa 80% of these athletes will be caught using these drugs.
The United State Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) would be happy to sign a contract with the UFC in order to promote cleaning it from doping. They consider that the UFC should have the same anti-doping policy like other sports organizations have. But the UFC president doesn’t want to sign a contract with the USDADA and the VADA. He underlines that the State Athletic Commission subjects fighters for drug testing. It is enough in order to clean the UFC from application of prohibited preparations, according to Dana White.
It becomes obvious that Dana White doesn’t desire to clean MMA from doping. Previously he has pronounced several statements for support of testosterone replacement therapy among fighters. He has said that any fighter should apply steroids under instructions of his doctor, if he has low testosterone levels. Athletes must obtain therapeutic use exemptions in order to compete professionally while applying several steroids. But it is possible to suppose that therapeutic use exemptions often serve as an excuse for doping. Numerous famous fighters have gotten therapeutic use exemptions and use steroids while fighting. So, doping continues to prosper in MMA.
Why doesn’t Dana White put efforts to eliminate doping and smoking pot from MMA? Think logically! The war on doping and smoking will influence on business negatively.
