Comprehensive out of comp random testing, all fighters subject to it, starting July 1.

Independent 3rd party using WADA standards. Engaged in talks with numerous, reputable, global drug testing groups.

Advocating for longer suspensions and harsher penalties by the commissions/governing bodies. Advocating for a 2-year ban for first time offenders. Will support 4-year ban. "There has to be harsher penalties to rid the sport of PED usage."

Dana just said what everyone was thinking and some people were posting. Risk/reward to kill off your career vs a payday from a fight.
