BREAKING: Manager Clayton McCullough Causes Stir After Requesting Immediate Doping Test on Dodgers Star Mookie Betts, Saying “He’s More Machine Than Human”

Los Angeles, California – In a move that has sent shockwaves across the baseball world, Clayton McCullough, interim manager and rising figure within the Dodgers organization, has made headlines after formally requesting that Major League Baseball conduct an immediate doping test on superstar Mookie Betts.

McCullough cited “extraordinary and almost unnatural performance levels” as his reasoning, claiming in a post-game press conference that Betts is beginning to look “more like a machine than a normal human being.”

An Unprecedented Accusation — From Within

The Dodgers had just secured a convincing win, with Betts once again putting up a phenomenal performance: 3-for-4 at the plate, 2 home runs, a diving catch in right field, and a stolen base. But instead of celebrating the win, McCullough’s comments quickly became the focus.

“Look, I’m proud of the team,” McCullough said. “But when a guy starts putting up video game numbers night after night, you have to ask questions. Mookie’s performance is beyond elite—it’s almost superhuman. Out of respect for the game, I think it’s fair to request a standard doping test.”

MLB and Dodgers Yet to Respond Officially

At the time of publication, MLB officials have not confirmed whether a test will be conducted, and the Dodgers organization has remained silent, possibly regrouping before issuing a statement.

Sources within the team suggest that McCullough’s request came as a surprise to front office executives and coaching staff, with some calling it “inappropriate,” especially considering the lack of prior concerns or red flags regarding Betts.

Mookie Betts Responds with Class

Betts, one of the most respected figures in baseball, responded calmly to the situation after the game.

“I’m not angry,” he told reporters. “If someone thinks I’m playing too well, that’s a compliment in disguise. I’ve worked hard to get here. Test me any day—they won’t find anything but Gatorade and discipline.”

His poised response drew applause online, with fans and teammates alike rallying around him using the hashtag #BuiltNotBoosted.

Backlash Against McCullough Begins

While some fans believe McCullough was simply trying to protect the integrity of the game, many others saw the request as disrespectful or even conspiratorial. Several sports commentators noted that it was highly unusual for a manager to single out his own player for such a test, especially without prior cause.

Former MLB pitcher CC Sabathia weighed in on social media:

“If your own guy is crushing it and your first instinct is to call for a drug test, maybe you need to re-evaluate what leadership means.”

What Happens Next?

The spotlight is now firmly on MLB. If a test is conducted and Betts is cleared, as expected, it may end the controversy quickly—but the tension between McCullough and Betts might linger longer than a news cycle.
