McGregor Rehab Under Scrutiny Over Alleged Banned-Substance Use

A New York Times report alleges Conor McGregor used powerful, banned drugs to recover from his 2021 leg injury; his surgeon says he did not prescribe them but supported a therapeutic-use exemption that was not granted. McGregor left USADA’s testing pool during recovery and later faced a retroactive 18-month suspension for missed tests. He is now set to headline UFC 329 against Max Holloway, with experts noting little evidence that banned substances aid bone healing and highlighting the regulatory controversy surrounding his case.

Tristan Thompson of the Cleveland Cavaliers has been suspended for 25 games without pay by the NBA for violating the league's anti-drug program after testing positive for two banned substances, Ibutamoren and SARM LGD-4033. This is his first suspension, and he will lose $726,465. The 32-year-old is averaging 3.8 points and 3.9 rebounds in 36 games for Cleveland this season. The NBA has stopped testing players for marijuana but continues to test for human growth hormone and performance-enhancers. Thompson's suspension begins with Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
