Quick read
ACA President Magomed Bibulatov provided candid insights into drug testing within the promotion during an interview. He stated that more fighters use performance-enhancing drugs than compete clean, and that fighters taking bouts on short notice are usually clean because they "didn't have time to use anything." Bibulatov explained that drug testing is expensive and would require cooperation among all Russian promotions to be effective, which he considers unlikely. The league has given fighters time to clear their systems and has data on which athletes use prohibited substances. ACA is still determining how to handle violations, with Bibulatov initially proposing year-long suspensions, though no final policy has been announced.
