Major League Baseball says it has cleared Dodgers team doctor Dr. Neal ElAttrache following an investigation connected to a reported link involving performance-enhancing drugs. According to multiple outlets, MLB reached the conclusion after interviewing ElAttrache as part of its review of whether any concerns existed about his role with players. MLB also stated that it “does not have any concerns” regarding ElAttrache’s work with Dodgers athletes.
The inquiry is tied to reporting that referenced a connection to Conor McGregor in the context of steroids or PEDs. The outlets agree that, despite that reported association, MLB does not find grounds to take action or impose restrictions based on the information reviewed in its process.
With the investigation complete, ElAttrache remains available to serve in his team physician capacity for the Dodgers. The league’s determination is presented as final in the context of MLB’s inquiry, with no further penalties reported.
