Devin Haney Seeks Ryan Garcia's Disqualification Over PED Use, Weight Violations

May 14, 2024, 01:04 AM

Devin Haney has filed a formal complaint with the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) requesting that Ryan Garcia be disqualified from their recent fight. Haney's attorney has written an eight-page letter to the commission citing several issues, including Garcia missing weight, traces of the banned substance Ostarine in Garcia's tests, and the alleged use of an IV drip, which is prohibited in New York. Additionally, Garcia has admitted that missing weight was a tactic for an unfair advantage. Haney's team argues that these infractions, including PED use and prohibited use of IVs, should result in a disqualification, which would award Haney the victory and maintain his undefeated record. Despite receiving over $1.3 million as compensation for Garcia missing weight, Haney's camp is pushing for the fight's outcome to be changed from a no contest to a disqualification.
