Ryan Garcia’s Test Results for Ostarine Positive; Response from NY Commission

Ryan Garcia is dealing with the aftermath of testing positive for Ostarine [Enobosarm] subsequent to his victory against Devin Haney. The confirmation came after the “B” sample analysis aligned with the initial results revealed by VADA. Currently, the New York State Athletic Commission is delving into the situation, potentially affecting the fight’s verdict. Garcia’s legal team asserts that the banned substance could have stemmed from contamination, pointing to a hair sample examination that showed no presence of Ostarine. Determination of Garcia’s suspension duration and the final decision regarding the fight’s outcome are still up in the air. Ostarine use in boxing has surfaced as a recurring concern, resulting in penalties and suspensions for other fighters in the past. While Garcia professes his innocence and calls into question the test outcomes, he awaits the commission’s ruling.
