We can&#8217;t just develop a drug testing program just to have a drug testing program,&#8221; Aguilar said. &#8220;There has to be some logic and methodology behind the program, and we will get there, but we&#8217;ve had this little bit of a hiccup of not having an executive director. Once we get an executive director in place this is going to be a high priority for the commission. It takes consultation of the doctors, the commissioners, the executive director and some of the past fighters to say, \u2018hey, this is a strong program, this is how it needs to work.'&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s going to take some time for us as a commission to force the issue, and we will continue to do that.
