Summary
Two people with direct knowledge told the New York Times that Conor McGregor used banned drugs during his recovery from the leg he broke in a July 2021 UFC fight.
The investigation also says McGregor actively tried to evade anti-doping scrutiny as he rebuilt his body ahead of a return to the octagon next month in Las Vegas.
Neal ElAttrache, the prominent surgeon who repaired McGregor’s leg, said he referred McGregor to bone-healing specialists and did not prescribe hormone or steroid treatment.
The report lands after nearly five years of speculation over McGregor’s larger, more muscular physique, which fans and commentators had linked to possible performance-enhancing drug use.
