For much of his career, former UFC champion B.J. Penn has been an outspoken opponent of performance-enhancing drug
use.
And so when the non-profit Voluntary Anti-Doping Association volunteered
to sponsor pre-fight testing for Penn and his UFC 152 opponent, Rory
MacDonald, “The Prodigy” immediately agreed to take
part.
Penn has since been forced to withdraw his support of the program. However, the Hawaiian scrapper doesn’t want to nix the plan all
together. Instead, he said he’s willing to foot the bill for the
procedures if the organization can wait to make the results public.
