ACA president admits more fighters use PEDs than compete clean

ACA president Magomed Bubulatov has made candid admissions about performance-enhancing drug use in his promotion. He stated that more fighters use banned substances than compete clean, and noted that fighters taking bouts on short notice are typically clean because they haven't had time to use anything. Bubulatov revealed that ACA has been conducting drug testing and gave fighters six months to clear their systems while allowing some therapeutic substances. The testing has produced data on which fighters use more prohibited drugs, though Bubulatov is uncertain about how to handle violators and whether to publicly release names. He acknowledged that addressing the PED issue properly would require collaboration among all Russian promotions due to the high costs of comprehensive testing, which he considers unlikely to happen.
