ACA president Magomedov reveals most fighters test positive for banned substances

ACA president Magomed Magomedov has made candid revelations about doping in his promotion, stating that more fighters test positive for banned substances than test clean. He noted that fighters who accept bouts on short notice are typically clean because they "don't have time to take anything." Magomedov explained that ACA gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed some therapeutic substances, then began testing through their medical department. The organization is considering one-year suspensions for violators but hasn't finalized a policy. Magomedov acknowledged that drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate on the issue, though he doubts this will happen. He confirmed ACA has detailed data on which fighters use more or fewer banned substances.
