Quick read
ACA president Magomed Bubulatov candidly discussed doping issues in the promotion, stating that more fighters test positive than clean. He revealed that fighters taking bouts on short notice are usually clean because they haven't had time to use performance-enhancing drugs. Bubulatov explained that implementing comprehensive drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate on testing, though he considers this unlikely. The organization gave fighters six months to clean their systems and allowed certain therapeutic substances. He is considering one-year suspensions for violators but decisions are still being made on how to handle the situation going forward.
