Conor McGregor appears to be currently undergoing a random drug test at home

"At the Gaf"

Robert Redmond

This is pretty random.

Conor McGregor tonight tweeted a photo of, what he calls, “an army of scientists” in his Dublin home putting him through a random drug test.

The Notorious is being tested by USADA, the United States Anti-Doping Authority, ahead of his bout against Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 197 in March.

The authority introduced a new programme last year which enables them to test an athlete without any prior warning.

Hence them showing up at McGregor’s “gaf” on a Monday evening.

Unlike British Olympic champion Mo Farah, who allegedly didn’t hear drug testers ring his door bell, McGregor may have even offered them a cup of tea.

The UFC Featherweight champion had tweeted this photo less than an hour before the drug testers arrived.
