ACA president reveals most fighters test positive for banned substances

ACA president Magomed Bubulatov gave a candid interview about doping in the promotion, revealing that more fighters test positive for banned substances than test clean. Bubulatov stated that fighters taking bouts on short notice are typically clean because they "didn't have time to apply anything." He acknowledged that doping control is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate on testing, though he considers this unlikely. The league gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed certain permitted substances. ACA is considering publishing fighter test results but has not decided on specific punishments, though Bubulatov mentioned one-year suspensions as an option.
