Quick read
ACA President Magomedov Bibulatov revealed that more fighters in the league test positive for banned substances than test clean. He noted that fighters accepting bouts on short notice tend to be cleanest because they haven't had time to use performance enhancers. The organization introduced testing six months ago, gave fighters time to clear their systems, and allowed certain therapeutic substances. Bibulatov is considering year-long suspensions for violators but acknowledged that comprehensive testing is expensive and would require cooperation among all Russian promotions, which he considers unlikely. He expressed uncertainty about whether to publicly release the names of fighters who have tested positive.
