Most recently they made the biggest trade of the off-season by grabbing superstar Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns. However, now there is an investigation surrounding their team doctor that is garnering national attention.

Rams’ Team Doctor Facing Major Investigation
A report tying Dr. Neal ElAttrache to UFC fighter Conor McGregor has come to light. Due to ElAttrache’s support of McGregor’s decision to use PEDs, he is currently the subject of an investigation in which he will be questioned regarding his involvement in this matter.
There is no doubt that ElAttrache is one of the most renowned sports doctors in the world. In addition to his work with the Rams, he has performed surgeries on numerous high-profile athletes during the course of his career. In 2021, McGregor suffered a serious leg injury during a fight, prompting him to seek medical attention:
Reports indicate that McGregor used PEDs during his recovery from this injury, with ElAttrache supporting his decision to do so. After he performed the surgery on McGregor’s injured leg in 2021, ElAttrache sent him to a specialist who prescribed him banned drugs. In doing so, ElAttrache has caught the attention of MLB, as he also works for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
PEDs are particularly frowned upon in baseball, as they give hitters a serious advantage at the plate. Given his ties to the Dodgers, MLB has begun an investigation into ElAttrache to see if he has ever prescribed PEDs to any baseball players. As for the Rams, they could get sucked into this if the NFL decides to get involved, although to this point, they have yet to address the situation.
“Investigators for Major League Baseball in the coming weeks will question the Los Angeles Dodgers’ team doctor, Neal ElAttrache, after the disclosure that he supported a top Ultimate Fighting Championship star’s use of performance-enhancing drugs as he recovered from an injury, according to two people briefed on the matter,” Michael S. Schmidt of The New York Times reported.
Although ElAttrache works with athletes throughout the world, he is directly employed by the Rams, which is why this development will catch the team’s attention. In the event ElAttrache is found to have supported the use of PEDs by more athletes than McGregor, he could be in some serious trouble, particularly when it comes to baseball.
