Conor McGregor sounds very suspicious about the drug testing going on in Brazil

The Notorious wants more stringent tests

Conor McGregor is clearly not forgetting the incident back in June that saw Jose Aldo’s drug test interrupted when the sample collector was detained at the Brazilian gym at which the test was being conducted and his visa was confiscated.

While Aldo’s test eventually came back clean, The Notorious is not satisfied with the level of testing that’s going on in Brazil.

“I got tested. I get tested constantly,” McGregor recently told Combate, as translated by Guilherme Cruz.

“It’s his shady ass that doesn’t get tested over there in Brazil. All this corruption is still over there. Some police officer from the gym arrested the guy who was taking the test. That is the shadiest shit I’ve ever heard in my life. So, I take the test, he doesn’t. Test his ass!”

McGregor finally meets Aldo at December’s UFC 194 and the pair of featherweights came face-to-face with one another when the Irishman was filming for the new season of The Ultimate Fighter in Las Vegas.

And McGregor hopes that the Nevada State Athletic Commission got a hold of Aldo while he was in the fight capital of the world.

“He should have been tested right now, today or this whole period,” McGregor added.

“If he wasn’t, that’s disgraceful. We’ll see. I’ll ask if he was or was not tested.”
