Quick read
ACA president Magomed Bibulatov has candidly discussed the state of doping control in his promotion, revealing that more fighters test positive than clean. Bibulatov noted that fighters accepting bouts on short notice are typically clean because they "didn't have time to apply anything." He explained that doping control is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate on testing, though he considers this unlikely. ACA gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed certain therapeutic substances, but the organization is still determining how to handle violations. Bibulatov previously considered one-year suspensions for failed tests but has not finalized a policy.
