doesn't matter to me cos there shouldn't be any in his blood stream. if he tested positive for an amount that small then it just means there was a much larger amount in his body at one point. it's not like they tested him directly as a single molecule of turinabol drifted in through the window and got stuck in one of his nose hairs

Yeah I get that, but it (and the previous tests) at least adds a layer of plausibility to his claim that it was unintentional ingestion of a trace amount. I have reasonable doubt now that he intentionally ingested Turinabol, considering all of the other factors.

Basically whenever I've seen that excuse in the past I've been like "lol it would have to be loving picograms for me to start even considering that excuse..."

Well, here we are.

He intentionally ingested it whether it was from coke or steroids.

My favorite part of all Conor press conferences is when his opponent talks about his teammates and all of a sudden Conor has nothing and sits quietly.

This is awful. I sincerely unironically hope Khabib actually murders him in there. Like snaps his neck while he's tapping.

Conor talking about how he would've been locked up for life after killing Khabib if he'd gotten off the bus, how he's going to continue stomping on his head when he knocks him out in the cage, and how Khabib and his entire family is going to get murdered in their home if he pulls out makes me think Conor should maybe just go back home to his money/coke vault instead of jeopardizing the fight with his insanity.

Threatening people's families and talking about assaulting one's opponent post-match is a weird way of going about it outside of pro wrestling.

No, did you? Other than Frank Mir's off the cuff Brock remark a decade ago, when have you seen serious death threats like this? Conor talking about riding into the favelas on horseback and poo poo was cartoonish bravado, talking about coming and murdering someone's family if they pull out of the fight is a different thing altogether.

I've watched all of Conor's pres conferences, and this one is clearly different because Conor didn't come prepared with any jokes, one-liners, or anything, and seems to be harping on nothing but the Artem incident and wanting to kill Khabib. He's obviously become more and more unhinged the bigger he's gotten, which is pretty sad. I hope the fight happens and I'll gladly watch it regardless of the stupid poo poo either guy says, I just think Conor is making himself look insanely bad and unlikable to a degree he doesn't usually do.

Dana said they didn't want any trouble in New York again. I'm not exactly sure what he thinks would happen. Maybe members of their entourages sneaking in or whatever? It was obviously a poor decision.

I fuckin love mcgregor press conferences this was a different animal. Grabbing aldos belt and saying he was doing it for Brazil was fun. It was insouciant and disrespectful but it was fun.

Then Conor threw a dolly through a bus window and hosed a bunch of people up, then we saw whatever the gently caress that was.

I agree that Conor McGregor is about as stable and likeable as 90s Tyson. Why this would be offered up in defense of mcgregor is beyond me.
