Ryan Garcia flunked a drug check the day earlier than his big upset win over Devin Haney — testing constructive for a performance-enhancing substance — however the star boxer is asking BS!
25-year-old Garcia was given a check on April 19 by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Affiliation (VADA), the day earlier than the Haney match, and was popped for Ostarine, in accordance with boxing reporter Mike Coppinger.
The substance Ostarine aids in muscle progress and may improve energy.
Garcia rapidly went to social media to adamantly deny the claims.
“Everybody I came on here to address this bull f***ing s**t claim that I cheated,” Garcia stated, persevering with, “Everybody knows that I don’t cheat.”
“Why didn’t they come out with this before the fight? Why would they let me step into the ring as a cheater and come out with the victory and then post this?” Ryan requested.
In fact, Ryan, who got here in over 3 kilos over the 140 lb. threshold, received by majority determination, placing 25-year-old Haney down on the canvas thrice in the course of the 12-round battle.
It was palms down the most effective win of his profession … however barring a reversal after all, it is probably the victory will probably be overturned, and might be declared a “no contest.”
SI briefly spoke with Devin’s dad and coach, Invoice Haney … who was livid over the information.
“You trying to hurt my baby. We played it fair. We didn’t do it like that. F**k boxing, this is some bulls**t. I came from the streets. You scared of Devin on a level playing field? I feel f**ked up over this. If you can brag about doing it, you shouldn’t be on drugs.”
Garcia does have the flexibility to ask VADA to check a second pattern (B pattern) that was collected the day earlier than the battle.
