I told Josh about these 2 UFC, one had a doping history, never banned but cloudy. The other was clean.
The doped one was “better” but the longer the fight went on the clean athlete started to break the will of the other fighter. Clean athletes are champions. Dopers are weak.

I use Kerr as an example, because, Mackey may be the 1st coach who put his $ where his mouth is, risked it all for clean sport, and coached a world champ.

In grad school, my professor, Vernor Møller, a well known anti-doping researcher asked the class:
