Ryan Garcia, following his recent boxing victory over Devin Haney, is under scrutiny after testing positive for the banned substance Ostarine in samples taken on April 19 and 20. Garcia has exercised his right to have the 'B' samples tested, with the analysis scheduled for May 22 and an independent witness present. His team is investigating potential contamination sources in supplements and medications he consumed in recent months. A VADA report clarified that initial tests indicated a presence of 19-Norandrosterone, another banned substance, but further analysis did not confirm its presence, thus clearing Garcia of a potential second violation.
