Major League Baseball says it will question Dodgers and Rams team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache after a New York Times report linked him to Conor McGregor’s alleged use of banned performance-enhancing drugs during injury recovery. Multiple outlets report that ElAttrache serves as the Dodgers’ head team physician and also works with the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams as an executive director of medical services. According to the reports, the NYT described ElAttrache as having supported an exemption related to drug rules while McGregor was recovering from a serious leg injury, involving UFC drug policy considerations rather than a standard approval process for prohibited substances. In response, MLB initiates an inquiry with the aim of clarifying ElAttrache’s role and what, if anything, he recommended or approved. The Los Angeles Times and other outlets characterize the situation as MLB reviewing the circumstances described in the NYT report, including how ElAttrache referred or handled McGregor’s case. CBS Sports, the New York Post, and The Athletic similarly say MLB plans to speak with ElAttrache as part of its follow-up.
