Conor McGregor told to explain why he hasn't been drug-tested for 12 months

UFC legend Chael Sonnen has urged Conor McGregor to explain why he hasn't been drug tested for 12 months.

McGregor has been out of action since July last year having broken his leg in a second consecutive defeat by Dustin Poirier. Since then the Irishman has been following a strict rehabilitation programme in an attempt to return to full fitness and is eyeing a return to 170lb after putting on weight during his recovery process.

It emerged last month that the UFC superstar had not been subject to random drug testing by USADA for a year and was last randomly tested in the third quarter of 2021. The anti-doping agency usually test fighters irrespective of inactivity unless they are notified that a fighter is retired and therefore exits the testing pool.
