ACA president Magomed Bubulatov reveals majority of fighters test positive for PEDs

ACA president Magomed Bubulatov provided candid details about drug testing within his promotion during an interview with Ushatayka. Bubulatov stated that more fighters test positive for performance-enhancing drugs than test clean, and that short-notice replacements are typically the cleanest fighters because "they didn't have time to use anything." He explained that ACA gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed certain substances, but testing revealed widespread violations. While contemplating one-year suspensions for violators, Bubulatov acknowledged that comprehensive drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should unite on the issue, though he doubts that will happen. The organization continues to deliberate on how to address the situation.
