Conor McGregor hasn’t been tested by the USADA in 2022
It was recently revealed that Conor McGregor is the only fighter on the UFC roster prior to August 1 who hasn’t been tested in 2022. Despite his injury, McGregor remains an active fighter, which makes his lack of testing quite surprising.
It was reported earlier this month that McGregor was last tested over a year ago, leading many fans to speculate that he was using performance enhancing drugs. While McGregor has bulked up during his time away from the octagon, that alone is not enough to justify speculation.
Although the reason why McGregor hasn’t been tested remains unclear, the USADA did seem to shift at least some of the blame to the UFC. The drug agency shared that the promotion can grant testing exemptions, which could be the situation allowing McGregor to remain untested.
