Usage of marijuana is concern in MMA

The UFC president Dana White believes that many MMA fighters take marijuana. He is troubled by this issue. While anti-doping organizations try to clean sports from usage of steroids and other related preparations, the UFC president notices that it is necessary to test fighters for recreational drugs randomly. The UFC president affirms: “Forget about steroids!” He affirms that it is the time to be troubled by usage of marijuana and other recreational drugs by MMA fighters.
It is known that those that are caught using steroids and/or other doping products receive suspensions. Which sanctions are for those who test positive for recreational drugs? You should know that the punishment is similar.
Don’t you wonder how many fighters are caught applying 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, about 80% of these athletes will test positive for 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 test fighters for banned substances. It is enough in order to clean the UFC from administration of banned preparations, according to Dana White.
It becomes obvious that the UFc president doesn’t wish 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 use anabolic steroids under instructions of his health care provider, if he has hypogonadism. Athletes must get therapeutic use exemptions in order to compete professionally while applying certain steroids. But it is possible to suppose that therapeutic use exemptions often serve as an excuse for doping. Many celebrated fighters have obtained therapeutic use exemptions and administer steroids while fighting. So, doping continues to prosper 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 influence on business negatively.
