One wrote: "What's the big red blotches on Conor??"

Another asked: "Conor what are the red marks on your arm?

Someone else said: "Why does Conor have pepperoni on his right shoulders."

The marks are the result of 'cupping'

Cupping is popular with celebrities and among those to have tried it are Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham and Calum Best.

It sees suction cups placed on a person's body to remove toxins.

It is said to aid physical recovery by easing pain and reducing inflammation in the body and it is understood that it particularly helps with joint and muscular pain, while speeding up the recovery of soft tissue.

The most decorated Olympian of all-time, Michael Phelps, is another fan of the therapy and has appeared at the Games with marks from it clearly visible on his body.
