Ben Askren Disagrees With Dana White’s Statement About Drug Testing

UFC President Dana White recently stated that it would not only be “unrealistic to chase his fighters all over the world and test them for marijuana, cocaine, steroids and other drugs,” but that it would also be “impossible.” Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren disagrees.

“The USOC random tests Olympic athletes in all sports. Dana saying testing his fighters would be impossible is a bold faced lie. Just making a statement about a level playing field. I didn’t say it wouldn’t be expensive just that it is not impossible.”
