ACA president reveals most fighters test positive for banned substances

ACA president Magomed Bubulatov gave a candid interview about drug testing in the promotion, revealing that more fighters test positive for banned substances than test clean. Bubulatov stated that fighters who take bouts on short notice are usually clean because they haven't had time to use anything. He explained that ACA gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed some therapeutic substances when they began testing. The promotion has data on all fighters showing who uses more or fewer banned substances. Bubulatov said testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should unite on this issue, though he doubts it will happen. He mentioned considering one-year suspensions for violators but hasn't decided on enforcement yet.
