UFC Enlists Controversial Interrogator for Drug Testing, USADA Split Looms
TL;DR Summary
The UFC has announced that it will be ending its partnership with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in 2024 and will be partnering with Drug Free Sport International (DFSI) instead. UFC executives criticized USADA's treatment of Conor McGregor and accused the organization of imposing its will on the UFC. The UFC's new anti-doping program will be overseen by George Piro, a former FBI special agent who led the Saddam Hussein Interrogation Team in 2004. UFC officials demanded that USADA rescind its statement, but USADA stood by its credibility.
