Ryan Garcia's B-Sample Confirms Positive Test for Ostarine, April 20 Win Overturned

May 23, 2024, 04:27 PM

Ryan Garcia's B-sample drug test results have confirmed the presence of the banned performance-enhancing drug Ostarine, consistent with his A-sample results from May 1. The tests were conducted by VADA around his April 20 fight with Devin Haney. As a result, Garcia's win over Haney will be changed to a loss via disqualification, reinstating Haney's undefeated status. Garcia has expressed emotional distress over the accusations and claims the positive results are due to supplement contamination. The New York Commission will schedule a formal hearing to address the findings. Prominent voices in the boxing community, including Joaquin Buckley and Bill Haney, have called for Garcia's boxing license to be revoked. The B-sample results were returned Thursday.
