Israel Adesanya offers $3million to anyone who can prove he's taken steroids

Israel Adesanya has offered an eye-watering $3million, or around £2.47m, to anyone who can provide evidence he has taken steroids during his UFC career.

The middleweight champion will face Jared Cannonier this weekend at UFC 276 to headline International Fight Week, and was presented with a jacket by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for completing 50 clean drug tests. However, conspiracy theorists are still not convinced, arguing that his gynecomastia, an issue with his breast tissue, is the result of steroid use.

Adesanya has now moved to put rumours of his drug use to bed by offering a bounty to anybody who can provide concrete proof that he has cheated. The Nigerian-born New Zealand fighter suffers from the medical condition which is often associated with steroid use, but has checked with doctors to make sure there are no issues.
