Dan Rafael: Ryan Garcia's lab results show no third positive test – Boxing News – 24

Boxing expert Dan Rafael reports that Ryan Garcia's lab results came back for his previous positive test for the banned PED 19-norandrosterone in a urine sample dated April 19, and they “did not confirm” the presence of the substance.

Good news for Garcia… But the situation is still serious

Rafael says Ryan still has two positive tests for the banned PED Ostarine, but none for 19-norandrosterone. He says this is good for Ryan because now he only tests positive for ostarine and not the other one.

Ryan would still have to deal with the consequences of two positive tests for the banned PED Ostarine, but his result would not be as severe if the other PED 19-norandrosterone was there.

B-sample testing scheduled

Rafael states that VADA advises that Ryan Garcia's B samples for his two positive tests for ostarine on April 19 and 20 will be tested on May 22. Ryan can have a representative there to “make sure everything is going well.”

“URGENT: A urine sample provided by Ryan Garcia on April 19 tested positive for ostarine, but also showed that the banned PED 19 – norandrosterone requires further testing for confirmation. It's done. According to the laboratory report sent to VADA, which I received, it was “not confirmed”. There is NO third test failure,” boxing expert Dan Rafael said. X.

What does it mean

Without confirmation of the presence of 19-norandrosterone, this reduces what Ryan Garcia is accused of. However, Ryan still has two confirmed positive tests for the banned PED Ostarine, and may have to deal with the consequences of this if the B-sample test reveals the presence of the drug.

Ryan said in an interview today that he plans to test his supplements to determine if one of them contains the drug that resulted from his tests on April 19 and 20.
