ACA President Magomed Bibulatov gave a candid interview about doping control in the league, revealing that more fighters use performance-enhancing drugs than compete clean. He noted that fighters accepting bouts on short notice are typically clean because "they didn't have time to use anything." ACA implemented a doping control program six months ago, giving fighters time to clear their systems and allowing some therapeutic substances. Bibulatov expressed uncertainty about how to handle violators and acknowledged that comprehensive testing is expensive, suggesting Russian promotions should unite on this issue, though he considers that unlikely. He considered one-year suspensions for violators but has not finalized a policy.
