Ryan Garcia flunked a drug take a look at the day earlier than his enormous upset win over Devin Haney — testing optimistic for a performance-enhancing substance — however the star boxer is looking BS!
25-year-old Garcia was given a take a look at on April 19 by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), the day earlier than the Haney match, and was popped for Ostarine, based on boxing reporter Mike Coppinger.
The substance Ostarine aids in muscle progress and may enhance energy.
Garcia rapidly went to social media to adamantly deny the claims.
“Everybody I got here on right here to deal with this bull f***ing s**t declare that I cheated,” Garcia mentioned, persevering with, “Everybody is aware of that I do not cheat.”
“Why did not they arrive out with this earlier than the battle? Why would they let me step into the ring as a cheater and are available out with the victory after which submit this?” Ryan requested.
Of course, Ryan, who got here in over 3 kilos over the 140 lb. threshold, gained by majority choice, placing 25-year-old Haney down on the canvas thrice in the course of the 12-round battle.
It was palms down the very best win of his profession … however barring a reversal in fact, it is probably the victory can be overturned, and could possibly be declared a “no contest.”
SI briefly spoke with Devin’s dad and coach, Bill Haney … who was livid over the information.
“You making an attempt to harm my child. We performed it honest. We didn’t do it like that. F**ok boxing, that is some bulls**t. I got here from the streets. You petrified of Devin on a stage enjoying subject? I really feel f**ked up over this. If you may brag about doing it, you shouldn’t be on medicine.”
Garcia does have the flexibility to ask VADA to check a second pattern (B pattern) that was collected the day earlier than the battle.
