UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan has weighed in on the debate surrounding Conor McGregor’s use (or lack thereof) of steroids during his time away from competition. McGregor sustained a vicious broken leg fighting Dustin Poirier in July 2021, and has not fought since.
In the meantime, the former two-division champion has revealed a massively bulked-up physique, and his leg has apparently healed in record time. With McGregor out of the USADA testing pool, Rogan discussed on his podcast the likelihood of McGregor exploiting a USADA “loophole”, stating that the Irishman could “melt that USADA p*ss cup”.
Rogan: McGregor Would “Melt that USADA P*ss Cup”
“He’s taking his shirt off and posing constantly, and he looks like his piss would melt that USADA cup. Like, it would just like burn a hole right through the bottom of that USADA cup.
The weird thing is that there is a loophole in USADA that allows you to get out of the testing pool. You can get out of the testing pool and just juice up.”
Rogan, in the episode, was interviewing Derek from the YouTube channel More Plates More Dates. His guest, something of an expert in steroids and performance-enhancing drugs, offered a list of potential substances that McGregor could have taken, and how they could be helping “The Notorious” in his recovery.
““HGH, peptides, androgens are very restorative – like they’ll reinforce bone mineral density.
Like, there’s certain stuff that’s going to stay in the system for a long time he could never use. But on the bio-identical side, anything pro-bone integrity, infrastructure enforcing, I would be highly incentivized. If I was him and I wasn’t being tested, I’d be pushing that vector hard.”
Although McGregor has long promised a return to the Octagon, Rogan openly wondered whether the sport’s biggest star could ever compete at the elite level again. Is inactivity to blame for Conor McGregor’s abysmal streak of late?
“It is weird. His last big win was against Donald Cerrone, which was a significant win. I wonder, it could just be inactivity, too. The inactivity is probably one of the biggest factors in his demise – maybe even more so than just the silk sheets.
He said that after the Dustin Poirier fight. There’s a lot going on in a fight and if you’re not accustomed to fighting at the high level, the stress of that moment is so overwhelming. Very, very difficult for guys to take years off and then jump back in and be 100 percent.”
Will we ever see prime Conor McGregor again? Let us know in the comments.
