UFC star Conor McGregor accused of pulling out of drug-testing programme

Conor McGregor has been accused of pulling out of the UFC's drug-testing programme, despite never failing a test.

The Irishman has been tested 62 times since the US Anti-Doping Agency began to work with the MMA promotion, but hasn't been tested yet this year, or in the final quarter of last year. And his long-time rival Tony Ferguson believes that it's because he has pulled out of the promotion's rigorous testing system, where fighters must update USADA of their whereabouts on a frequent basis.

McGregor has been recovering from a broken leg over the past year, but it hasn't stopped him from jet setting around the globe. He has been in Miami, New York, California, Dublin, Cannes, Rome and a host of other major cities, which would make it hard for a USADA representative to track him down as he continues to move around.
