Doping/Drogen Vergehen im MMA Sport

[Nefercheperur]

Lorenzo Fertitta auesserte sich nun ueber das Doping und was die UFC dagegen macht.

“Actually, it’s becoming less of a problem because we have really stepped up our game as far as testing. For these athletes, there’s nowhere to hide.

The first step was working with the various athletic commissions to make sure we had testing for the night of the fight for every fighter on the card. Whereas it used to be years ago, it was more of a random basis. They would test the main event and maybe some of the other fighters. We said, ‘You know what: We’ll pay for it. You test everybody on the card.’

And then, as some of these performance enhancing drugs started to evolve and get better, it was harder to test for some of those drugs because they were out of your system apparently quickly. So we started to implement random testing working with the Nevada State Athletic Commission and funding that testing protocol.

Now, the next step for us and what we’re working on, is a complete project where we will random test all 500 of our athletes multiple times per year. We’re working on that. It’s gonna be a comprehensive plan. At the end of the day, if you’re cheating, we will catch you. You will get suspended, possibly fined. We take it very serious because at the end of the day, our fans want to make sure our sport’s clean, and I think the athletes want the sport clean. The clean athletes want the sport to be clean, right?”

Piotr Hallman wurde nach seinem Fight bei der Fight Night Show am 13 September als er gegen Gleison Tibau verlor positiv auf das Steroid Drostanolone getestet. In Brasilien wurde er bereits fuer 9 Monate gesperrt, die UFC spricht bei Shows ausserhalb von Nord Amerika wo sie die Aufsicht hat, jedoch auch noch Strafen aus.

Hallmann erzaehlte nun folgende Geschichte dazu:

“At that moment I was badly injured and was waiting for transportation to the hospital. All of a sudden one of the people that tested me at the event drove all the way to the hospital telling us that something went wrong with the testing but at that time I was in extreme pain as the medical team was treating my broken jaw.

The man understood and saw that it wasn't the best moment to do a second test as I was being injected with some painkillers. So the man apologized for the mistake and just left. During that moment I didn't make anything out of this strange situation as I know I'm a clean fighter who always have been professional with my career and never used any steroids or banned substance for that mat

It's also strange that they left the hospital without taking a second blood test, if they just gave me a moment to recover and waited for my painkillers to kick in I had no problem taking a second test. But they just apologized and left the hospital.

The whole handling from the moment a unknown guy screaming ‘Doping! Doping!' to the whole testing procedure was unprofessional. Someone coming to the hospital while I was in treatment is just crazy if you ask me.”

Problem an der ganzen Geschichte ist das bei Hallmann das Steroid Drostanolone gefunden wurde, was ua fuer Weight Cutting vor dem Fight benutzt wird, und keine seiner Erklaerungen erklaeren den positiven Befund.

Das scheint allerdings jetzt in die Mode zu kommen, das man nach einem positiven Test den Test in Zweifel versucht zu ziehen.

Nach dem Piotr Hallman den Dopingtest in Zweifel zog hat sich nun die Brasilianische Commission gemeldet. CABMMA Director of Operations Cristiano Sampaio sagte das der Test vom Olympischen Labor untersucht wurde das WADA Standards haette:

“The anabolic agent drostanolone was found in Mr. Piotr Hallman´s urine, not blood, in the pre-fight exam. His blood test came back negative. For any positive test, the lab has to re-test the same sample to certify the result. The athlete is entitled to issue an appeal. If it’s regarding the result, he needs to send a formal communication. The commission will send it to the lab and any costs regarding documentation and new test will be entirely the athlete´s responsibility.

If the appeal is regarding the process, he needs to send a formal communication. The commission will send to it the Brazilian Authority of Doping Control (ABCD) so they can issue and official report. But if the appeal is regarding the integrity and responsibility of the commission on regulating MMA in Brazil, he needs to send a formal communication to the entity.”

Die UFC hat die 12 monatige Sperre von Cung Le aufgehoben, und das bevor Cung Le Einspruch erheben konnte, was er jedoch angekuendigt hatte. Als Begruendung nannte die UFC das das erhoehte HGH Level nicht beweisen wuerde das Le gedopt hat.

Das folgende Statement gab man bekannt:

“At UFC Fight Night Macao on August 23rd, UFC contracted with an independent drug testing laboratory in Hong Kong to perform urinalysis testing on all fighters on the card. Additionally, UFC requested the laboratory to test blood samples from 4 fighters for human growth hormone (HGH), erythropoietin (EPO) and testosterone.

One of the athletes who had his blood tested was Cung Le. The laboratory results from Le’s blood test were sent to the UFC and showed that his blood had a total HGH level outside the reference range. Based on such results, UFC officials determined that Le had violated his promotional agreement and the UFC Fighter Conduct Policy. Consequently, UFC decided that Le should be suspended from unarmed combat competition for 12 months.

Following the announcement of Le’s suspension, UFC officials have been provided with medical advice regarding the elevated total HGH present in Le’s system. In accordance with such medical advice, UFC has determined that Le’s elevated total HGH by itself does not prove that he took performance-enhancing drugs before the August 23rd bout. As a result, UFC has informed Le that his suspension is rescinded.

Le had requested an appeal of his suspension, and was entitled to arbitrate the drug test results and suspension. However, based on the lack of conclusive laboratory results, UFC officials deemed it appropriate to immediately rescind the suspension without the need for further proceedings.

The UFC organization has always been a leader when it comes to testing for performance-enhancing drugs in combat sports. All UFC athletes know they are subject to drug testing by an applicable state athletic commission, an international governing federation, or by an independent laboratory contracted by the UFC when no regulatory body is overseeing the event. In those cases where regulatory oversight is unavailable, UFC voluntarily chooses to adhere to the highest level of athlete health and safety protocols similar to if the event were being held in the state of Nevada.”
