We Fight Clean. Always.

MMA is built on discipline, honour and fair play. At MMA-SFI, we believe that no victory is worth compromising your integrity. Our Anti-Doping Policy ensures that every athlete competing under our banner plays by the same rules without shortcuts, without banned substances and without
excuses.

We are committed to protecting clean athletes, creating a level playing field and promoting long-term athlete health and safety.

What Our Anti-Doping Policy Covers

  • Prohibited Substances & Methods : 
    MMA-SFI follows the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List. All athletes must avoid performance-enhancing drugs, masking agents or any method that manipulates testing or results.
  • Testing at Events :
    Doping control may be conducted at any MMA-SFI sanctioned event including National Championships, State Championships and official selection trials. Testing may be
    random or targeted.
  • Out-of-Competition Testing :
    Athletes selected for international representation or elite training programs may betested at any time, without prior notice.
  • Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE) :
    If you are required to take a medication that contains a banned substance for medical reasons, you must apply for a TUE in advance with proper documentation.
  • Education & Awareness : 
    MMA-SFI conducts regular sessions to educate athletes, coaches and support staff about anti-doping rules, safe supplement practices and the long-term risks of banned substances.
