Summary
Two people with knowledge of the matter said McGregor kept using anabolic steroids and human growth hormone even after his broken leg had healed, undercutting the claim the drugs were only for recovery.
UFC officials learned from McGregor that he stayed on the substances because he liked how they made him feel and the energy they gave him, according to one of those people.
More than 2 years outside the sport’s drug-testing program gave McGregor room to use banned substances without an immediate suspension, anti-doping experts contend.
October 2023 marked his return to testing, but the report said it remains unclear how long his post-recovery drug use continued.
