update July 13,2016. Today Bellator released the below press release (HT Luke Thomas)
__________________
As very first reported by MMAJunkie.com’s Steven Marrocco, Bellator Camiseta West Ham United has contracted with the Mohegan department of athletic regulation to oversee medication testing when the promotion heads to London for Bellator 158.
Marrocco reports that “fighters will be tested via urine as Camiseta Barcelona well as will be licensed with the Mohegan commission, which might likewise subject them to future out-of-competition testing, the most efficient deterrent to the utilize of banned substances“.
England does not have a government run mixed martial arts athletic compensation leaving promoters to largely run events as they see fit. Bringing the MDAR on board to oversee medication testing is a step in the right direction although the decision likewise leaves some questions.
The MDAR lack any type of statutory or other jurisdiction in London so their authority to licence fighters in that jurisdiction, medication test fighters there as well as problem suspensions based on failed medication tests is based completely on personal contracts.
The precise range as well as nature of these contracts stays unclear. I have reached out to both Bellator as well as the MDAR for comment as well as if/when they release the details of the contracts as well as the range of the program I will update this article with further details.
