Quick read
ACA president Magomed Bubulatov candidly discussed drug testing in his promotion, stating that more fighters test positive for banned substances than test clean. He revealed that fighters taking bouts on short notice are usually clean because "they didn't have time to use anything." Bubulatov said the league is still deciding how to handle PED users and acknowledged that drug testing is expensive. He suggested all Russian promotions should unite on testing efforts, but called this unlikely. ACA gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed certain recovery substances when they began testing. The league has data on which fighters use banned substances more heavily.
