The Notorious has been sidelined since July 2021 when he suffered a shock leg break during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier.

And it seems like USADA has largely stepped away once the Irishman started rehab as they haven’t tested him at all this year.

USADA told Bloody Elbow “that our Athlete Test History is accurate” in regards to their posted online records being up to date and complete.

Inactive fighters or those on a long lay-off are still tested fairly regularly.
