Former UFC champion Conor McGregor is embroiled in some controversy at the moment (what else is new?). However, for the first time in his career, USADA is playing a key role in one of the Irishman’s story-lines.
It all started when it was noted that McGregor had not been tested by USADA at all in 2022. Then, recently, McGregor claimed that he required two clean tests from USADA in order to return to the testing pool in February.
An observer noted that McGregor’s description of his plans fit very closely with USADA policy for athletes who notify the testing body that they had been taking a banned substance.
