Ryan Garcia reportedly tested positive for the banned PED Ostarine for 2 tests on April nineteenth, a day before his fight against Devin Haney on the twentieth.
Positive Ostarine Tests
Dan Rafael reports that the banned performance-enhancing drug Ostarine showed a positive from a VADA test for Ryan Garcia’s fight against Haney. If Ryan was using a complement, he would wish to provide it in order that it might be tested for the Ostarine substance.
Ryan denies that he took anything, and he feels that individuals are attacking him to try to discredit his win. He says he won’t give Haney a rematch because he beat him “fair and square.”
After all, that’s not going to stop Haney, his dad, Bill, and their supporters from using Ryan’s positive tests to push hard for a rematch. Devin and Bill may have to campaign like a few politicians in the event that they want to influence Ryan to offer them a rematch.
The WBC can’t do anything to force Ryan to fight Haney again because he didn’t capture their world title, on condition that he got here in 3.2 lbs obese. So, there’s no title to strip from Ryan, and so they can’t force him to offer Haney a rematch.
“Ryan Garcia tested positive for the banned PED Ostarine in a VADA test related to the Haney fight,” said Dan Rafael on X.
“Failed for Ostarine in 2 urine tests on April 19 & post-fight April 20. April 19 sample also (from VADA letter) “screened positive but was not confirmed for 19-Norandrosterone pending IRMS evaluation currently being run.”
Ryan’s Response: Denial and Accusations
“I got here on here to deal with this claim that I cheated. Everybody knows I don’t cheat,” said Ryan Garcia on X, reacting to the news of his positive test. “Why didn’t they give you this test before in the event that they found it before?
“Why would they let me step within the ring as a cheater and are available out with a victory, and so they post this? Again, these are those who are attacking me for whatever reason. I’ve never taken a steroid in my life.”
If Ryan does receive a suspension, it’ll keep him out of the ring for some time, and foil his plans on making a fast return to motion. He’d mentioned wanting to fight Errol Spence and Gervonta Davis.
