PFL
The Professional Fighters League took a big step forward with its anti-doping program.
On Tuesday, July 11, PFL informed its fighters that it has hired the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) to run its new anti-doping and drug testing program. PFL president of fighter operations Ray Sefo informed those under the promotion’s banner of the development in an email, according to ESPN.com.
The program is set to begin immediately.
“This program is part of the PFL’s commitment as a fighter first organization to supporting a safe, level playing field and advancing the highest levels of competition and the integrity of the sport,” Sefo wrote in the email.
The program will begin with “educational sessions” for the fighters.
The next PFL event is scheduled for Friday, August 4 with the start of the 2023 Playoffs. The event will feature featherweights and light heavyweights and will take place at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas.
