ACA president admits more fighters use PEDs than compete clean

ACA president Magomed Bibulatov made candid statements about doping control in the promotion. He revealed that more fighters in the organization use banned substances than compete clean, and that fighters taking bouts on short notice are typically the cleanest because they haven't had time to use anything. Bibulatov stated that doping control is an expensive endeavor and suggested Russian promotions should unite to address the issue, though he considers this unlikely. The promotion gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed some therapeutic substances, but continues to detect violations. Bibulatov is considering year-long suspensions for offenders but acknowledged the organization cannot solve the problem alone due to the high costs of testing and laboratory work.
