So a Houston Chronicle report that the fighters weren't tested at the two most recent UFC events is alarming. At UFC 69, there was some kind of confusion about who the appropriate governing body to administer drug tests was. At UFC 70, UFC's Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner said, "we had no legal means to do it."
Whatever the reason, this is a serious blow to UFC. There's no bigger issue facing the sports world right now than drugs, and if UFC can't demonstrate that its athletes are drug free, large segments of the sports world won't take UFC seriously.
