ACA President reveals more fighters use PEDs than compete clean in promotion

ACA President Magomed Magomedov has made candid admissions about drug testing in his promotion during an interview. He revealed that more fighters use performance-enhancing drugs than compete clean, and that fighters who accept bouts on short notice are typically the cleanest because they "didn't have time to apply anything." Magomedov discussed implementing a six-month period for fighters to clear their systems and allowing certain approved substances. However, he acknowledged that drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate on this issue, though he doubts this will happen. The promotion is still deciding how to handle fighters who test positive, with Magomedov initially considering one-year suspensions but uncertain whether to publish lists of violators.
