Journalist Dan Rafael confirmed today that Ryan Garcia has been cleared of the 19-norandrosterone PED from his April 19 sample for his fight against WBC welterweight champion Devin Haney on April 20 in Brooklyn, New York.
Ostarine's charges remain in effect, hearing likely
However, Rafael claims Ryan (25-1, 20 KOs) still tested positive for the banned PED Ostarine in two of his failed tests. This substance is “prohibited at any level.”
Ryan's B sample will be tested on May 22 and they could face punishment if it is found to be positive for the drug Ostarine.
Expert commentary and fighter response
“A) Purified from 19-norandrosterone as a result of more detailed testing of sample 4/19.
B) Nothing fictitious in PED Ostrarina. He faces a hearing/possible punishment for 2 failed tests.
C) The amount of ostarine does not matter. Some things you can have at your doorstep. Ostarine is prohibited at any level,” Dan Raphael said on X.
Ryan Garcia: “So, you all understand that now I did not fail the tests. No substance except this imaginary ostrich substance. Such a low level will have no effect. THEY TRIED BUT THE LIES ARE NOT WORTH IT.”
Important Considerations
If Ryan Garcia's B-sample turns out to have ostarine, it could impact his career. The consequences will be as follows:
– Suspend
– Fines
– Victory overturned in fight with Devin Haney
After this, boxing fans' opinion of Ryan may change, and he will have to work hard to regain the popularity he previously had after his upset victory over Haney.
While it is not impossible for Garcia to continue his path to stardom, it will require him to test clean for his future fights, and he will need to continue to beat high-level opponents to show that his win over Haney was not contributed to by the substance he tested positive for. result.
Many boxing fans will now view Ryan's win over Haney as tarnished and he needs to show fans that he is capable of beating the best and being clean in testing.
