1 year ban - Ryan Garcia - Pathetic

[imp]

If your last name is Garcia or Alvarez and you get caught cheating taking PEDS expect a 6-12 month ban.

It now actually seems worth taking PEDS for the big money fights.

There is zero deterrent anymore.

I would have loved to have given props to Ryan for beating Haney but he has potentially ruined his career with this tainted win.

Spot on with all points.

Can't say I share on the last paragraph, cause I was actually hoping Haney would knock him out. But other than that I agree on all counts.

i think it's worse if a guy is caught & is allowed to fight. the commissions are to blame & the promoters for booking them to fight. you are right there is zero deterrent. they may have given devin back his zero but they can't erase him getting splattered all over the ring

Garcia totally outclassed him

[imp]

There’s no way of knowing if Garcia would have ever beaten Haney in the pro ranks.

PED enhanced his hook, chin and stamina.

Haney not continuing with his career and fighting Martin reflects the mental trauma.

Expect another payout when Haneys lawyers sue Garcia for loss of earnings.

You know you've hit full blazing train wreck when even the wbc expels you. Garcia is the art and perfection of torpedoing your own career. Not just ring career. Well beyond the point of 'ah he just selling the fight' delusional nonsense. It really is a slow-motion car crash on a 24-7 loop.

Ryan Garcia has been "expelled" by the WBC after using racial slurs and Islamophobic language on social media.

The American, who last month was banned for a year from boxing following an anti-doping violation, made the comments on X's spaces platform, which allows people to have live audio conversations.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said in a statement: "Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organisation.

"We reject any form of discrimination."

In a since deleted post on X, Garcia, 25, wrote: "I was trolling, I want all the killing to stop. I love everyone, sorry if I offended you."

The American has not responded to the WBC's expulsion.

After Garcia was handed a one-year doping ban by the New York State Athletic Commission, Sulaiman said the WBC would not issue its own suspension or "punish" him because of concerns about his mental health.

It was not immediately clear what the expulsion from the WBC would entail. BBC Sport has asked the WBC for comment.

Garcia failed multiple drug tests around his fight with Devin Haney in April.

As well as a one-year ban, Garcia's upset victory over former undisputed lightweight champion Haney was overturned to a no-contest.

Garcia's family released its own statement saying his comments "do not align with his, or our family's, true character or beliefs".

"Our family unequivocally does not support any statements [Garcia] has made regarding race or religion -- these do not reflect who Ryan truly is and how he was raised," the statement added.

So is it safe to say PrincessRy is no longer the "Face of Boxing"?

Probably feel slighted he shunned being their next Charlo crutch-case. At this point I really do doubt the future return. He has yet to hit bottom, at least one he'll acknowledge. Remember those old film reels of a plane being shot down? Flames trailing pieces sparking off, the whirl sound into a downward spiral. There he is.
