    Paulo Costa Supports Conor McGregor and Slams USADA After McGregor Proclaims Innocence – “I’m on Your Side”

    Conor McGregor’s return to the octagon has been eagerly awaited by fight fans worldwide, with many exclaiming “the king is back!” However, the Irishman’s comeback is marred by a potential obstacle – his ongoing issue with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). McGregor has been under scrutiny for his dealings with the agency, and it appears that the hurdle has yet to be cleared.

    Recently, the notorious McGregor waged war on USADA, going on a rant against the organization in an attempt to prove his innocence. His outburst has caused quite a stir among the UFC community, with many wondering what impact this could have on his return to the sport. Despite this setback, the former double champ seems to have found a companion in his fight against USADA, none other than the infamous ‘Secret Juice’ promoter Paulo Costa. The Brazilian middleweight took to Twitter to show his support for the UFC icon in his ongoing feud with the anti-doping agency.

    Paulo Costa offers moral support to Conor McGregor

    Following Conor McGregor’s scathing attack on USADA, Paulo Costa has taken a rather sneaky take on the situation. ‘Borrachinha’ has not only lent his support to the Irishman in his fight against the anti-doping agency but has also involved the likes of Twitter and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, in his tweet to the Irishman.

    The Brazilian middleweight wrote, ““CONOR I GOT YOUR BACK”. @elonmusk is on Secret Juice 🥤”.

    While this move by the Brazilian was lighthearted, the situation between McGregor and USADA is intensifying by leaps and bounds. The anti-doping agency has finally put out its response to the Irishman in light of his rant against them.

    In response to Conor McGregor‘s recent outburst against them, USADA has declined to agree upon any meeting with the Irishman. The anti-doping agency has made it clear that they are committed to ensuring fairness in the sport and have emphasized that the use of prohibited substances by athletes during their time away from the octagon is not acceptable.

    Furthermore, they have stated that McGregor will have to fulfill the six months criteria before making a return to the octagon.

    Moreover, the anti-doping agency reiterated its commitment to ensuring a level playing field for all athletes and enforcing the rules and regulations surrounding anti-doping.
