Ryan Garcia, a professional boxer, has tested positive for the banned performance-enhancing drug Ostarine in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) test related to his recent fight against Devin Haney. The test results, confirmed by multiple sources including ESPN's Mike Coppinger, indicated that Garcia tested positive both the day before and on the day of his upset victory over Haney. The A-sample also screened positive for 19-norandrosterone but remains unconfirmed. Following the results, Garcia has been given a 10-day period to request a test of his B-sample. Garcia has publicly denied using any banned substances, asserting his innocence and expressing confusion over the allegations.
