Details surrounding the UFC’s new anti-doping program have been revealed. The promotion has cut ties with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and rolled out a new program with testing to be handled by Drug Free Sport International. Administration and sanctioning will be overseen independently by Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD), headed by president George Piro. On the surface, there appear to be many similarities between the two programs. Fighters will still be expected to keep up with quarterly whereabouts and they will be subject to unannounced sample collection at anytime, anyplace. There have been modifications to the prohibited substance list, such as the removal of marijuana
