ACA President admits more fighters use PEDs than compete clean

ACA President Magomed Bibulatov candidly discussed doping issues within the promotion in an interview. He stated that more fighters use banned substances than compete clean, and that fighters taking bouts on short notice are typically clean because they haven't had time to use anything. Bibulatov explained that the organization gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed certain approved supplements. He acknowledged that implementing comprehensive testing is expensive and would require Russian promotions to work together, which he considers unlikely. The ACA has data on which fighters use more or fewer banned substances, though Bibulatov is uncertain about how to proceed with enforcement, mentioning one-year suspensions as a potential penalty.
