ACA president admits more fighters use PEDs than compete clean

ACA president Magomed Bubulatov has made candid admissions about doping in his promotion during an interview with Ushatayka. Bubulatov stated that more fighters in ACA use performance-enhancing drugs than compete clean. He noted that fighters who take bouts on short notice are typically clean because they haven't had time to use prohibited substances. Bubulatov revealed that ACA has been testing fighters and has data on who uses more or fewer banned substances. He acknowledged that implementing comprehensive anti-doping measures is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate on the issue, though he considers this unlikely. The president indicated uncertainty about how to handle fighters who test positive, mentioning potential one-year suspensions but saying a final decision has not been made.
