ACA President reveals majority of fighters test positive for banned substances

ACA President Magomed Bubulatov disclosed that more fighters in the league test positive for banned substances than those who test clean. He noted that fighters accepting bouts on short notice are typically the cleanest because they don't have time to use anything. Bubulatov explained that the organization gave fighters six months to clean their systems and allowed certain permitted substances. He acknowledged that drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should unite to address the issue, though he considers this unlikely. The league is still deciding whether to continue testing and how to penalize violators, with one-year suspensions being the primary consideration.
