}}Jeff Novitzky (born December 15, 1967) is the current Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance for the UFC. He previously served as an agent for the Food and Drug Administration, investigating the use of steroids in professional sports. Before April 2008 he was a special agent for the Internal Revenue Service who investigated the use of steroids for over five years.[1]

Early life and education

Novitzky grew up in Burlingame, California and graduated from Mills High School in Millbrae in 1986.[3][2] Novitzky enrolled at the University of Arizona on a track and field scholarship,[3] before transferring to Skyline College. Novitzky played two seasons of basketball at Skyline but just one game in his second season due to injuries. In 1989, Novitzky transferred to San Jose State University on a basketball scholarship. For the San Jose State Spartans, Novitzky played two games as a reserve forward in the 1989–90 season, Stan Morrison's first as head coach.[4] Again, injuries limited Novitzky's playing time to those two games.[3] Novitzky graduated from San Jose State in 1992 with a degree in accounting.[5]

Investigations

Novitzky first gained public notoriety during his role as a federal agent for the FDA. In a 2002 investigation which came to be known as the BALCO scandal, he led a raid on a San Francisco laboratory co-operative that was supplying banned substances to athletes. The resulting fallout implicated many well-known athletes in cheating at various high level competitions including Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Olympic Games. Notable athletes involved included Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery, Victor Conte, Barry Bonds, Kirk Radomski, Bill Romanowski, and Jason Giambi.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

On May 20, 2010, the New York Daily News reported that Novitzky was involved in an investigation into performance enhancing drug use on Lance Armstrong's Tour de France teams, and that Armstrong's former teammate Floyd Landis was cooperating with the investigation.[12] Previously, Marion Jones, a track and field Olympian winner, pleaded guilty in October 2007 to making false statements to Novitzky. Novitzky was also able to convince Kirk Radomski, a former New York Mets club house worker, to become a government informer. Radomski has now been convicted of distributing anabolic steroids to over a dozen MLB players.

The bulk of the names provided in the Mitchell Report about doping in Major League Baseball were provided by a personal trainer and a dealer whom Novitzky persuaded to talk.[13]

In his book The Secret Race, former professional cyclist Tyler Hamilton wrote that Novitzky drove a "bulldozer" through the sport of cycling in uncovering details about the pervasive use of performance enhancing drugs.[14]

Starting in April 2015, Novitzky began working for the UFC as their Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance. Within this role, Novitzky will spearhead anti-doping efforts within the organization.[15][8][10]

Criticism

Novitzky has been criticized by certain defendants in steroid-related cases as being biased and unfair.[16] Novitzky, in multiple cross examinations, including during the federal perjury investigation of Roger Clemens, has been a credible government witness. [17][18] [19]
