American boxer Ryan Garcia tested positive for banned substances shortly before his recent victory over Devin Haney, ESPN reported Wednesday. Garcia failed a drug test for the performance-enhancing substance Ostarine both the day before the April 20 bout in New York and again on fight day. Additionally, ESPN boxing reporter Mike Coppinger noted that Garcia also tested positive for another banned substance, 19-norandrosterone, although this result remains unconfirmed. The revelations raise questions about the integrity of Garcia's win and his future in the sport.
