ACA president Bibulatov admits more fighters use PEDs than compete clean

ACA president Magomed Bibulatov gave a candid interview about doping control in the league, admitting that more fighters use performance-enhancing drugs than compete clean. He revealed that fighters who take bouts on short notice are usually clean because they "didn't have time to use anything." Bibulatov discussed the league's efforts to implement testing, giving fighters six months to clear their systems and allowing some therapeutic substances. He noted that doping control is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should unite to address the issue, though he considers this unlikely. The president is still deciding whether to continue testing and potentially suspend violators for one year, and mentioned that the league has data on which fighters use banned substances most heavily.
