ACA President admits more fighters use PEDs than are clean, discusses testing challenges

ACA President Magomed Bibulatov candidly discussed doping issues within the organization, stating that more fighters use banned substances than compete clean. He revealed that short-notice replacement fighters are typically the cleanest, suggesting they don't have time to use anything. Bibulatov explained that ACA initially gave fighters six months to clear their systems and implemented testing, identifying which fighters use more or fewer banned substances. However, he acknowledged that doping control is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should unite to address the issue, though he considers this unlikely. The league is still determining how to handle violators, with Bibulatov personally favoring one-year suspensions.
