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

ACA President Magomed Bubulatov candidly discussed doping issues within his promotion during an interview. He stated that more fighters use performance-enhancing drugs than compete clean, and noted that short-notice replacement fighters tend to be the cleanest because they haven't had time to use anything. Bubulatov revealed that ACA has been testing fighters and has data on who uses prohibited substances, though the promotion is still uncertain about how to handle violators. He explained that comprehensive drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate on anti-doping efforts, though he considers this unlikely. The league initially gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed certain recovery-assisting medications while implementing testing protocols.
