Dana White Discusses His Thoughts On Drug Testing
In both mixed martial arts and boxing, performance enhancing drugs are a serious issue with deep repercussions for fighters caught using. In recent history, the issue has greatly impacted a number of high profile fighters and promotions: Josh Barnett's positive test acted as the catalyst for the demise of Affliction, Sean Sherk was stripped of his belt following a positive result, and testing procedures are holding up a highly anticipated boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. In the press conference following this weekend's "UFC 108: Evans vs. Silva," UFC President Dana White discussed his thoughts on modern drug testing practices and their impact on fighting sports.
