"McGregor missed three attempted biological sample collections within a 12-month period in 2024, which constitutes a violation of the UFC ADP," read a CSAD news release on the UFC's website. "UFC athletes are required to provide accurate whereabouts information at all times, so they can be contacted and submit to biological sample collections without prior warning. McGregor's missed tests occurred on June 13, September 19, and September 20, 2024, and were each classified as Whereabouts Failures by CSAD under the UFC ADP."
"Conor McGregor received an 18-month suspension from UFC anti-doping program Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) on Tuesday. His suspension will end on March 20, 2026, a little over three months before the UFC's White House fight card that President Donald Trump announced would take place on his birthday, June 14. McGregor has been campaigning heavily to be included on the card, which would be his first fight in nearly five years."
Conor McGregor was issued an 18-month suspension by Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) for missing three drug-testing attempts in 2024. The missed tests occurred on June 13, September 19, and September 20 and were classified as Whereabouts Failures because accurate location information was not provided. The suspension runs through March 20, 2026, which falls slightly more than three months before a UFC fight card announced for June 14. CSAD requires athletes to supply accurate whereabouts so they can be reached for unannounced biological sample collections.
