The new UFC drug testing policy, under the leadership of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), kicks off Wednesday, and the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) is working on its procedures to follow the new program in Brazil.
MMAFighting.com learned that CABMMA officials met with representatives from USADA and Brazilian Agency of Doping Control (ABCD), the local arm of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), at the Marriott hotel in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, and have partnered ahead of the random, year-round new UFC drug testing program.
With this new partnership, USADA, ABCD and CABMMA can now dialogue and request drug tests in both Brazil and United States.
