All UFC/Strikeforce signees must undergo pre-contract drug screenings for PEDs

Zuffa is making it a bit more difficult to become a UFC or Strikeforce fighter.

Officials today announced that all potential UFC and Strikeforce fighters, including those who compete on "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series, must first pass a mandatory pre-contract screening for performance-enhancing drugs.

The policy has been put into immediate effect.

Once signed, fighters will undergo the normal event-related drug testing performed by state athletic commissions (or outside agencies Zuffa hires when no regulatory body is available in a specific region, such as Brazil and the U.K.).

thank god

I support this 100%. At my job, I had to take a piss test to get it and I'm not even around people that often (driver). These guys are INTENDING to inflict damage on eachother, so pre employment testing is a must IMO along with random testing.
