Ryan Garcia Tests Positive for Banned Substance Ahead of Victory Over Devin Haney: Boxing World Reacts
The boxing world has been rocked by shocking allegations against rising star Ryan Garcia. After his impressive victory over Devin Haney, reports have surfaced claiming that Garcia tested positive for a banned substance. The news has sent shockwaves through the boxing community, with fans and experts alike questioning the legitimacy of Garcia’s win.
In a high-profile fight that saw Garcia deliver a stunning performance, dropping Haney multiple times, the victory was clouded by Garcia’s failure to make weight and now the doping allegations. ESPN reporter Dan Rafael has alleged that Garcia tested positive for Ostarine, a banned substance, leading to doubts about the integrity of the fight.
In a bizarre turn of events, Garcia took to social media platform X to deny the allegations, calling them “fake news” and insisting that he is innocent. He questioned the timing of the reports, suggesting that they should have been released before the fight if they were true. Garcia now has the opportunity to request a B-sample test to clear his name, but the damage to his reputation has already been done.
Haney, on the other hand, has expressed disappointment and frustration at the situation, calling out Garcia for cheating and disrespecting the sport of boxing. The undefeated fighter may push for a no contest if Garcia’s B-sample also tests positive, further tarnishing Garcia’s victory.
As the boxing world awaits the outcome of the testing process, Garcia’s future in the sport hangs in the balance. The once-promising young fighter now faces a battle to clear his name and salvage his reputation in the wake of these damaging allegations.
