ACA President Magomedov admits more fighters use PEDs than compete clean

ACA President Magomed Magomedov provided candid statements about doping in the promotion during an interview. He revealed that more fighters in the organization use banned substances than compete clean. Magomedov noted that fighters who accept bouts on short notice are typically the cleanest, suggesting they don't have time to apply performance-enhancing drugs. He acknowledged that implementing comprehensive drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should work together on anti-doping efforts, though he considers this unlikely. The organization gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed certain permitted substances, but violations remain widespread. Magomedov indicated he is considering year-long suspensions for violators but has not yet finalized a policy on punishments.
