ACA president admits most fighters test positive for PEDs

ACA president Magomed Bibulatov has made candid statements about doping in the promotion, revealing that more fighters test positive for banned substances than test clean. Bibulatov noted that fighters who accept bouts on short notice are typically clean, implying they haven't had time to use performance-enhancing drugs. He acknowledged that doping control is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should unite to address the issue, though he considers this unlikely. The promotion is currently deliberating on how to handle fighters who test positive, with Bibulatov favoring one-year suspensions. These revelations provide rare transparency about the prevalence of PED use in Russian MMA.
