ACA president Magomed Bubulatov admits more fighters use PEDs than compete clean

ACA president Magomed Bubulatov made candid admissions about drug testing in his organization during an interview. He stated that more fighters compete on performance-enhancing drugs than compete clean within the promotion. Bubulatov revealed that fighters who accept bouts on short notice are typically clean because they "didn't have time to apply anything." The organization gave fighters six months to clean their systems and implemented testing, but enforcement remains uncertain. Bubulatov acknowledged that comprehensive drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate on testing infrastructure, though he considers this unlikely. He indicated that the league is still deciding how to handle fighters who fail tests, with one-year suspensions being considered.
