UFC's Anti-Doping Program Faces Controversy and Legal Threats
TL;DR
The UFC has announced that it will continue its anti-doping program under a new partnership with Drug Free Sport International starting in 2024, after ending its partnership with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). The decision came after a disagreement over whether UFC star Conor McGregor should be granted an exemption from the required six-month testing window. The UFC has been working with USADA since 2015 and will continue to run the anti-doping program until the end of the year. Drug Free Sport International has been involved in anti-doping programs for over two decades and works with various sports organizations.
