CONOR MCGREGOR claims to have submitted his first drug tests after re-entering the USADA testing pool.<\/p>\n
The Notorious put the wheels in motion for his eagerly-anticipated comeback fight by officially re-enrolling in the United States<\/span> Anti-Doping<\/span> Agency's testing pool earlier this month.<\/p>\n And, according to the UFC's poster boy, it didn't take long for USADA testers to request blood and urine samples from him – which they took while he was cruising on his multi-million-pound yacht<\/span>.<\/p>\n He tweeted on Wednesday: "I was tested two separate times yesterday and within an hour of each other: blood and urine.<\/p>\n "3 samples of each were requested and given in both instances. They came aboard my yacht<\/span>. I welcomed them."<\/p>\n McGregor, 35, even claims to have offered the sample collectors some of his Forged Stout and Proper 12 Whiskey.<\/p>\n He continued: "Gave them a can of @ForgedStout and a @ProperWhiskey. Life is good."<\/p>\n Former two-division champion McGregor likened USADA's trips to his yacht to the FBI's visit to Jordan Belfort's luxury<\/span> vessel in the Hollywood blockbuster 'The Wolf of Wall Street'.<\/p>\n The Dubliner shared a snap of the exchange – in which Leonardo DiCaprio laughs at the copper – to his X page moments after sharing the clip.<\/p>\n The drama over McGregor's re-enrolling in the USADA testing pool, which he left in the wake of the\u00a0horrific leg break he suffered in 2021, prompted the UFC to part ways with the\u00a0anti-doping\u00a0agency.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n USADA announced last week that their\u00a0contract with mixed martial arts' premier promotion will not be renewed – despite both parties having a "positive and productive meeting" about doing so back in May.<\/p>\n They claimed their relationship became "untenable" over the UFC's stance on McGregor's return.<\/p>\n USADA suggested the UFC planned to waive the minimum six-month testing pool requirement for returning athletes in order to have Mystic Mac return by year's end.<\/p>\n That notion has been refuted by the UFC's Chief Business<\/span> Officer and Chief Executive Officer Hunter Campbell and Dana White, the latter of whom launched a scathing attack on the organisation.<\/p>\n The UFC's president and newly-minted CEO told Pat McAfee: "It was a dirty move. <\/p>\n "That was straight-up scumbag-ism.<\/p>\n "So that will all be addressed today, not by me.<\/p>\n "I'll let [Jeff] Novitzky and our lawyer Hunter Campbell handle that.<\/p>\n "The you know what is about to hit the fan.\u201d<\/p>\n Drug Free Sport will now oversee the UFC's anti-doping programme.<\/p>\n Prior to the announcement of the partnership with Drug Free Sport, White said: "We would pay an independent company [to oversee their testing].<\/p>\n 'It's the best way to do it. We have a standard that we set here, but a lot of people are upset with USADA.<\/p>\n "And we're working on going in another direction."<\/p>\n Former two-division champion McGregor hasn't set foot inside the octagon since breaking his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021.<\/p>\n The Irishman<\/span> is set to be welcomed back to the octagon next<\/span> year by former two-time Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler, although a date for their showdown has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n
