Conor McGregor hits back at Joe Rogan after "melt the cup" steroid accusation

Conor McGregor has taken another shot at Joe Rogan on social media in a now-deleted post slamming the UFC commentator for claiming that his urine would "melt the cup" in a drugs test.

The legendary former two-weight world champion is currently out of the USADA testing pool, in which fighters are randomly checked for the use of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. But he claims that he will need just two tests from February, as opposed to the six months generally needed back in the pool, before he can fight again.

However, Rogan isn't so sure, and joked that if McGregor were to be tested by USADA right now after bulking up around 40lb from his last fight weight that he would "melt the cup" with his urine. Fighters under the USADA programme are required to make their whereabouts known on a constant basis, and they must accept urine or blood tests whenever approached by a tester.
