Ryan Garcia Awaits B-Sample Results After Positive Ostarine Test Against Devin Haney

May 22, 2024, 07:36 PM

Ryan Garcia is under scrutiny following a failed drug test for the performance-enhancing drug Ostarine. His A-sample tested positive on the day before and the day of his fight with Devin Haney on April 20. The results of his B-sample, which was opened today, are expected to be released in a few days. Eddie Hearn has criticized Garcia's behavior following the failed test, while Joe Goossen has shown support for the boxer. Joaquin Buckley has called for Garcia's boxing license to be revoked if the B-sample also tests positive. Garcia admitted he cries at night because of the alleged PED violation. The most likely outcome is that the bout between Garcia and Haney will be declared a no contest, keeping Haney undefeated.
