Dana White doesn’t want to sign contract with USADA or VADA to clean MMA from doping

Dana White, the UFC president, believes that a lot of MMA fighters use marijuana. He is troubled by this issue. While anti-doping organizations try to eradicate administration of steroids and other related preparations, the UFC president says that it is necessary to test fighters for recreational drugs randomly. Dana White claims: “Forget about steroids!” He states that it is the time to be troubled by usage of marijuana and other recreational drugs by MMA fighters.
As you know, those who are caught using steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs receive suspensions. Which sanctions are for those who are caught taking 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 drugs, if random testing for recreational drugs will be implemented in the UFC?
475 fighters have signed contracts with the UFC. It is supposed that if random testing is conducted, circa 80% of these fighters will be caught using these drugs.
The United State Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) would be glad to sign a contract with the UFC in order to promote cleaning it from doping. They claim that the UFC should have the same anti-doping program like other sports organizations have. But Dana White 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 drugs, according to Dana White.
It becomes evident that the UFc president doesn’t desire to clean MMA from doping. Previously he has pronounced some affirmations for support of testosterone replacement therapy among fighters. He has affirmed that any fighter should apply steroids under indications of his doctor, if he has hypogonadism. Athletes must acquire therapeutic use exemptions in order to compete professionally while taking some steroids. But it is possible to suppose that therapeutic use exemptions frequently serve as an excuse for doping. Numerous famous fighters have acquired therapeutic use exemptions and administer steroids while fighting. Thus, doping continues prospering in MMA.
Why doesn’t Dana White put efforts to eradicate usage of performance-enhancing drugs and smoking pot from MMA? Think logically! The fight against doping and smoking will have negative impact on business.
