McGregor admits in the live interview with Ariel that he doesn't need to be in the USADA pool for 6 months because USADA is going to give him an exemption (2 clean tests only before he can come back and fight). He says him and his team are in constant communication with USADA and that an interview and meeting will happen soon with them and then it'll be official.

His original statement on this matter was edited out by MMA Hour after they finished the Live version. So I guess Conor's agent is trying to do damage control.

Horse Meat Conor is going to KO Chandler.

Staff Note. Conor has never failed a test. So please no unsubstantial PED accusations.

Makes sense, they’re trying to milk Conor’s name for 1 or 2 more fights before he retires.

Can’t blame them, we’ll never see anybody with Conor’s star power in UFC history. Jon Jones couldn’t even dream of approaching Conor’s stardom.
 
Didn't USADA say he likely would not qualify for the exemption? They said he needed 6 months AND at least two clean tests?

This was their statement:

“As we’ve confirmed before, as of today, Conor McGregor has not been reenrolled in the USADA testing pool, which he would have to be in for a minimum of six months and have at least two negative tests prior to any competition,” United States Anti-Doping Agency representatives said in a statement to MMA Fighting this afternoon.

Perhaps he has a misunderstanding of what is required?

One more edit:

"McGregor is not enrolled in our testing pool and would have to be for six months unless an exception is granted, which we do not think would be applicable," USADA director of communications Averi Walker told ESPN in an email.

Perhaps.

Interesting that it was edited out after the fact though, haha

Oh nothing suprises me anymore, just curious since USADA actually released a few statements saying he wouldn't qualify, or shouldn't rather, and that he would need 6 months AND 2 clean tests atleast.

That was always obvious lol. People really think Conor is going to be in the testing pool for 6 months? He'll get an exemption just like many others. Conor knows his leverage, he's going to use it. USADA can't do anything about it because it's part of the policy for UFC to waive it at any time for any fighter they choose. Plus USADA is on UFC's payroll anyways. They help make USADA's policies in regards to UFC. That's why it's always changing throughout the years like information doesn't have to be made public anymore.

One of the side effects of excessive alcohol and drug use is that you start slipping and say things that are not meant to be said out loud.

Conor just doesn't care. What are they going to do? Prevent him from fighting? Conor knows he doesn't need to be in the testing pool. He knows his leverage and he is using it. Everyone knows he's not in the testing pool. Conor knows he's going to get the exemption because they need him fighting especially after filming TUF. Has nothing to do with alcohol. Just Conor knowing his leverage and knowing it doesn't matter if he's in the testing pool or not at the moment. They aren't going to prevent him from fighting and Conor knows that. Conor isn't slipping, he's just smart enough to know he's getting the exemption and none of that shit matters to him or will affect him.

An intellectual individual, that Conor was once upon a time, would know that you don't say things that negatively impact yourself or your employer. You are right he doesn't care because he has lost most of his mind. Has everything to do with drugs, alcohol and getting KOed like a bitch he is.
 
USADA is very strict and doesn't allow such loopholes to be exploited.

Unless you draw some big money of course.

No USADA never said he can't get an exemption lol. Re-read the wording. "Which we do not think would be applicable." They worded it that way for a reason. It allows them to be wrong. That's just a PR statement since everyone knows Conor hasn't been tested for like 2 years and news/media/fighters started putting a lot of attention on it. UFC has an exemption policy that they can use any time for any fighter. USADA just trying to save face like what they did with Hooker recently saying they only tested him twice, but didn't mention anything about how many samples they gathered from him. So it's selected facts and statements worded with the words "think" that they use just for PR and to paint a narrative.

Conor is getting the exemption. If people think he isn't they are a bit slow lol.
