ACA president Magomed Bubulatov gave a candid interview about doping control in the promotion, revealing that more fighters use banned substances than compete clean. Bubulatov stated that fighters accepting bouts on short notice are typically clean because they haven't had time to use performance enhancers. The league began implementing doping controls, giving fighters six months to clear their systems while allowing some therapeutic substances. Bubulatov explained that comprehensive testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate, though he doubts they will. The promotion is still deciding how to punish violators, with Bubulatov initially considering one-year suspensions. He indicated that solving the doping problem alone is financially challenging due to laboratory costs and staffing requirements.
