ACA president admits majority of fighters use banned substances

ACA president Magomed Bibulatov has candidly discussed doping issues within his organization. He stated that more fighters use banned substances than compete clean, and noted that replacement fighters on short notice are typically the cleanest because they don't have time to use anything. Bibulatov explained that the league gave fighters six months to clean their systems and allowed certain approved substances. The promotion has data on which fighters use more or fewer banned substances. He mentioned that suspending violators for one year is being considered, but acknowledged that comprehensive testing is expensive and would ideally require cooperation across all Russian promotions, which he considers unlikely.
