MLB investigators plan to question Los Angeles Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache, according to a report June 11 from the New York Times' Michael S. Schmidt.

Schmidt reported that ElAttrache disclosed that he supported professional mixed martial artist Conor McGregor's use of performance-enhancing drugs while recovering from injury.

ElAttrache also serves as the Los Angeles' Rams team doctor.

Schmidt reported that the NFL didn't return a message seeking comment about ElAttrache.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow had knee surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache.​


ElAttrache operated on Burrow's left knee in December 2025.

"(Burrow is) on track for full go for start of the season," ElAttrache wrote in a text, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, in May 2021. "He's doing all the work. He's worked his tail off and been an amazingly mature participant in his recovery. He's focused and great to work with."

Burrow was a rookie when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in November 2020 on a hit by defensive tackle Jonathan Allen and defensive end Montez Sweat, against Washington.

In March, Allen agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Bengals.
