ACA president admits more fighters use PEDs than compete clean in league

ACA President Magomed Magomedov gave a candid interview about doping control in the league, making several stark admissions. He stated that more fighters in ACA use performance-enhancing drugs than compete clean, and that fighters who take bouts on short notice are usually clean because they "didn't have time to take anything." Magomedov explained that ACA gave fighters six months to clear their systems when implementing testing, and has data on which athletes use more or fewer banned substances. He acknowledged that doping control is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should unite to address the issue, though he believes this is unlikely. Magomedov is still deciding how to handle fighters who violate policies, mentioning one-year suspensions as a possibility.
