Ryan Garcia claims his positive drug test, which returned traces of Ostarine in the wake of his Devin Haney win last month in Brooklyn, was a BIG LIE. That’s why the embattled pugilist demanded the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) review his “B sample” before passing judgement.
Different sample, same result.
“Ryan Garcia’s B sample results were returned Thursday [morning], one day after being opened,” boxing reporter Dan Rafael wrote on Twitter. “I have the lab reports and the B samples, as expected, matched A samples — both are positive for the banned PED Ostarine related to VADA tests the day before and after Haney fight. New York commission received the B sample testing report (and already had the A report) and now it’s on the commission to schedule a hearing for Garcia, which figures to happen at some point this summer.”

“Let’s go we positive. Positive vibes bruh. Yess so happy,” Garcia wrote on Twitter. “I F*CKING LOVE STEROIDS. I don’t care I’ll never make money again with boxing. Your loss not mine for setting me up lol joke’s on y’all. I will swallow all steroids.”
Garcia, 25, will likely face both a fine and suspension pending a disciplinary hearing and could have his Haney fight ruled a “no contest.”
