UFC superstar Conor McGregor attempted to smear his longtime rival Nate Diaz with accusations of past steroid use from the Stockton native.<\/p>\n

McGregor took to social media<\/a> where he noted that USADA has tested him twice this week, which he had no problem doing. What bothers McGregor, however, is two-fold. One, he doesn’t like that USADA changed the rules so that failed drug tests don’t come out immediately until the athlete goes through a process. And two, there have been a lot of fighters who have tested positive only to be vindicated due to tainted supplements.<\/p>\n

McGregor was obviously frustrated and he took to social media to suggest that Diaz, one of his biggest rivals in the sport, used steroids<\/a> and USADA was able to blow it over for him.<\/p>\n

Usada tested me right before this. Blood and urine. That\u2019s twice this week. I don\u2019t blame them, I\u2019m a animal. What irks me tho is there is never an announcement of athletes caught anymore? This means –
1. They can keep it quiet.
2. Tainted supplement bullshit excuses are accepted pic.twitter.com\/6Vqii96Z4o<\/a><\/p>\n
