Mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor has been suspended for 18 months after failing a drug test under the Combat Sports Anti-Doping program.
The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion has accepted the sanction following confirmation of the test results, which showed violations of the sport’s anti-doping policy.
According to the report, this marks the third failed drug test for McGregor, a major breach of combat sports regulations. The suspension effectively sidelines him from competition and public events under UFC authority for the set period.
McGregor’s camp has already begun coordinating with investigators handling the case, signaling their willingness to cooperate with the ongoing probe.
Neither McGregor nor his representatives have released further details about the substance detected or the circumstances surrounding the violation.
The 18-month suspension is among the longest penalties issued under the anti-doping rules for a repeat offender, marking another setback in the Irish fighter’s professional career.
