said, “Those are what the lawyers have; whichever ones that they he provided me, he gave me two of the ones that he gave me. We sent that to a lab; they tested it, and it was tested with Ostarine in in its uh in its uh tablets, so my thing was tainted, which there’s no doubt in mind.”
But Bill Haney persisted. He wanted to know which company’s supplements he received. There was no change in the Californian’s answer—”I don’t know what it’s called. I just told you that I just told you right“. Haney Sr., then told him upfront that he had been lying.
The video shared by ‘Happy Punch’ captured pivotal moments where Bill Haney pressed Garcia on the specifics of his drug testing and the circumstances surrounding his positive tests. Garcia admitted to unknowingly taking tainted supplements provided by someone he referred to as ‘Scooter,’ alleging that these supplements were contaminated with Ostarine, a banned substance in sports.
He cited the amount of Ostarine observed in his system, which reportedly came to about one billionth of a gram. So Bill Haney said, “Hey, listen, if you have a pitch of her*in, is it in your system or not? There’s no other way there’s no other way that pitch could get in your system.”
