Ryan Garcia’s Desperate Plea: “No Substance” Found in Doping Tests
In the aftermath of his stunning victory over Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia’s triumph has been overshadowed by controversy. Last month, reports surfaced indicating that ‘KingRy’ had tested positive for Ostarine, a banned PED, casting doubt on his hard-earned success. As he vehemently maintains his innocence, Garcia has now shed light on the potential reasons behind the unexpected test results.
In a candid conversation on his X’s Live Spaces, the Victorville native offered two possible explanations for the controversial findings. “I think there are two options,” Garcia asserted. “I took up tainted supplements that had traces of Ostarine, or they (VADA) are really f**king with me and they have this up their sleeve.”
Tensions escalated as Garcia pointed to perceived connections between Victor Conte, who had trained Devin Haney early in his career, and VADA, insinuating foul play and conspiracy surrounding the test results. His allegations have sparked outrage and raised questions about the integrity of the testing process.
As Garcia demands justice, the boxing world awaits the outcome of the B-sample testing, scheduled for May 22. His attorney, Darin Chavez, has emphasized the need for transparency and fairness in the examination process, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
He explained, “I think there are two options. I took up tainted supplements that had traces of ostrogen (Ostarine) or whatever the f**k that is. Or they (VADA) are really fucking with me and they have this up their sleeve. You know, in case Devin Haney lost. It’s just so weird that Victor Conte is so close to VADA. It’s just bro, it’s bullsh*t.”
“We are dealing only with a known supplement contaminant in the billionth of a gram range that provided Ryan Garcia with no performance-enhancing benefit whatsoever on fight night. We now wait for B-sample testing on the presence of low-level Ostarine only on May 22.”
On X, in the wake of these results, Garcia wrote, “So yall realize I didn’t fail the tests now…No substance other then this imaginary ostrich substance…Level so low wouldn’t have any effect…THEY TRIED BUT NO LIE STANDS…PRAISE GOD.”
Amid mounting scrutiny, Garcia took to social media to proclaim his innocence, declaring, “So yall realize I didn’t fail the tests now… No substance other than this imaginary ostrich substance… THEY TRIED BUT NO LIE STANDS… PRAISE GOD.” Yet, the looming specter of the B-sample results hangs ominously over his future in the sport.
As the saga unfolds, the boxing community remains divided, grappling with the complexities of Garcia’s predicament. Innocent or guilty, his fate hinges on the outcome of the impending tests, which will determine the course of his career and legacy in the ring.
