Haney vs Garcia

[Master]

Ryan Garcia has tested positive for the banned PED ostarine in two drugs tests taken around his win over Devin Haney.

On April 20, the 25-year-old shocked the boxing world by flooring his rival three times and beating him by unanimous decision, but that win is now under major question.

Garcia tested positive for ostarine in two VADA drugs tests taken on the day before and on the day of the Haney win.

He also screened positive for a metabolite of nandrolone (19-norandrosterone) in one of his tests, but this result is not yet confirmed and requires further lab analysis.

Ostarine is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) used to assist athletic performance by helping build muscle mass, burn fat and increase stamina. Nadrolone is a synthetic (lab-made) version of testosterone.

Both are well known to be banned substances, with Amir Khan having been banned over a positive test for ostarine in 2022 and Tyson Fury having accepted a backdated ban over a positive test for nandrolone in 2015.

Garcia took to social media on Wednesday night to furiously respond once the results were reported publicly.

"I came on here to address this bull-f***ing-s*** claim that I cheated," he said in a video.

"Everybody knows that I don't cheat.

"What can I say? Why didn't they come out with this before the fight if they found it before? Why would they let me step into the ring as a cheater, come out with the victory, and then they post this?"

In truth, while Garcia's drugs tests may have been taken pre-fight, the results would not have come back until days after it took place.

"These are people who are trying to attack me for whatever reason, but no weapon against me shall prosper," he continued.

"I've never taken a steroid in my life. I don't even know where to get steroids at the end of the day, I barely take supplements.

"They're saying it's coming from ashwagandha, that's f***ing r*****ed. Big lies, I beat his ass, f*** out of here. F*** the Haneys."

Haney has reacted in a written statement.

"It's unfortunate Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans and the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and breaking positive not once, but twice," Haney said.

"Ryan owes the fans an apology, and by his recent tweet he still thinks this is a joke.

"We put our lives on the line to entertain people for a living. You don't play boxing.

"This puts the fight in a completely different light.

"Despite the disadvantage, I still fought on my shield and got back up. People die in this sport. This isn't a joking matter."

The New York Commission will now investigate the VADA drugs tests results and could overturn the result to a no-contest.

Garcia's promoter Golden Boy said: "Ryan has put out multiple statements denying knowingly using any banned substances - and we believe him.

"We are working with his team to determine how this finding came to be and will address this further once we conclude that process."

And I thought Ryan was just pretending to be dumb in the lead up

Ryan should just quit now.

This is nothing short of criminal intention to cause harm.

• He should be banned from boxing.
• He should be brought up on felony assault charges and if found guilty be incarcerated.
• He should be have his purse and winnings confiscated.
• He should be sued for millions by Haney's team

The same thing should be to every combatant in combat sports who wants to intentionally (illegally) cause harm to their opponents. Life is serious and our decisions can have grave consequences and just as their are rewards for doing the right thing. Those who do the wrong thing have to be held to account, in other words they can't get away with it.

And Ryan is giving the whole Andrew Tate defence "They're out to get me. THE MATRIX !! They're trying to bring me down !!!!

Ryan couldn't risk taken another L so he said "FK IT" and cheated every way he could & deal with the "bad boy" wrap. That boy had no interest in shooting the fair one.

Most often these days, athletes are caught with masking agents in their systems. But Ostarine isn't even a masking agent. It is a physical performance enhancing agent and considering that Ostarine prevents muscle catabolism during fat loss by providing energy without causing excessive muscle loss then it's crazy to me that Ryan took Ostarine and STILL couldn't making weight ? That tells me he was stacking it with other banned substances.

As I say it Ostarine is good for reducing muscle loss when dropping weight. Maybe he wanted to avoid that whole "sudden death" thing people experience with ephedrine or just the overall nastiness people feel with Clen. I think Ostarine during camp is going to become more and more common for anybody making weight.

And Devin’s dad failed him by letting the fight go through and/or not having a mandatory rehydration limit after the weight issue. He wanted that $1.5m penalty on some street shyt.

Finally what is with so many Mexican, Mexican/American being caught in the past decade ? Canelo, Nery, Garcia, Margacheato (wraps, not roids), Marquez unofficially, wasn't Oscar Valdez bust too? I'm sure I'm missing another 5 dudes coz I'm drunk, but whenever I read the headlines of a fighter being caught, it's been a Mexican (lol) Not racist, just pointing out what I'm reading/hearing/seeing. Granted Ryan is the most white-washed Mexican ever (dude can't speak a lick of Spanish) but he's still of Mexican origin

ryan will get a slap on the wrist ban at most unfortunately. all this makes a potential rematch that much bigger

[Spicoli]

These Ryan fans in desperation defense act like feral gerbils. Everything from they all do it to the sex traffickers in black helicopters are out to get him. It's all fun and games until you admit to gaming the contract agreement and laugh about being juiced in real time. They may rule Haney a NC but expect nothing but Ryan leaning into the continued idiocy and victim card.
