Doping tests are a fairly talked about topic in the combat sports world, but not so often used. Now the ONE FC organization has decided to introduce them and has introduced a new partner.
Chatri Sityodtong, who is the president of the Asian organization ONE FC announced at a press conference that his organization has a new important partner.
This is International Doping Tests & Management, through which ONE FC will begin testing all of its fighters for banned substances.
Starting this weekend with the ONE FC 160 tournament. However, it is true that some testing has already been done by the organization, although not official and not well known.
Now everything will work, most likely, in the same way as in the most famous organization of the UFC, which cooperates with the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
Doping tests should follow the rules of WADA, the world’s doping agency. Why isn’t there something similar in more organizations yet?
It’s simple, because if a wrestler is caught, he faces no penalty except being terminated from that organization. For example, if a wrestler tests positive for a banned substance in Bellator, he can fight in the Russian ACA.
