Ryan Garcia, following his victory over Devin Haney, finds himself embroiled in controversy due to allegations of doping. Reports indicate that Garcia tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine in two separate urine tests conducted on April 19 and post-fight on April 20, as stated in a VADA letter. Despite these claims, Garcia has vehemently denied the allegations, attributing them to a conspiracy by 'elites' he has been trying to expose. The boxing community has reacted strongly, with figures like Canelo Alvarez and Gervonta Davis offering their perspectives, while the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) confirmed the adverse findings.
