Ryan Garcia's B-sample drug test has returned positive for the banned performance-enhancing drug Ostarine, confirming the results of his A-sample on May 1. The tests, conducted by VADA, were taken the day before and the day of his fight against Devin Haney on April 20. As a result of the positive test, Garcia's win over Haney will be changed to a loss via disqualification, reinstating Haney's undefeated record. Garcia has expressed emotional distress over the accusations, while figures in the boxing community, including Joaquin Buckley and Bill Haney, have called for the revocation of Garcia's boxing license. Garcia's legal team claims the test results are the product of supplement contamination. The matter is now in the hands of the New York Commission, which will schedule a hearing for Garcia.
