ACA president Magomed Bibulatov says more fighters use PEDs than compete clean

ACA president Magomed Bibulatov gave a candid interview about drug testing in the promotion. He stated that more fighters are on PEDs than clean, and noted that fighters accepting bouts on short notice are typically clean because they haven't had time to prepare with substances. The promotion gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed some therapeutic substances. Bibulatov revealed they have data on which fighters use prohibited drugs, and that the cleanest fighters in ACA history have been short-notice replacements. He mentioned considering one-year suspensions for violators but acknowledged that comprehensive testing is expensive and would require cooperation between Russian promotions, which he considers unlikely.
