PFL Ends USADA Deal, Taps Mohegan Regulators for Anti-Doping Oversight
PFL says Mohegan oversight creates a single global standard spanning its U.S. competitions to its international leagues.
Overview
- USADA confirmed the partnership’s termination and issued well-wishes to PFL athletes.
- Multiple PFL fighters were notified of removal from the USADA testing pool in late August.
- PFL stated the shift is designed to deliver one consistent anti-doping system across all events worldwide.
- The Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation, led by Mike Mazzulli, will run the program after similar work with Bellator.
- It remains unclear whether PFL will add separate independent testing or lean on state athletic commissions beyond Mohegan oversight.
