Even if steroids are perfectly safe the rules still stand though and should be respected.

If its Dana's responsability to police the fights, then he could choose the rules to follow such as kicks to downed opponents etc.
Look at it this way:

Dana runs a business (UFC) and his duty is to make it thrive. Anything standing on the way on this goal, Dana has to deal with. At present, steroids are challenging the credibility of the sport. Mr. White runs the biggest promoter of mma. Consequently he HAS to deal with the issue to the maximum. The UFC should start enforcing internal drug tests and put an end to this issue.

It is very clear to me. Dana can make any excuses he wants, but he is only delaying his getting a 100% involved, while hurting the business.
