The IFBB Pro coach Greg Doucette isn’t holding back his harsh words when it comes to Ryan Garcia‘s recent troubles. Amidst a defamation lawsuit from Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration, Garcia finds himself under the harsh spotlight once again.

In a YouTube video titled “My Apology To Ryan Garcia.” Although, it’s just a title per se. The bodybuilding coach laid out his thoughts on the matter. He didn’t mince words, describing Garcia’s behavior as akin to “a 15-year-old coming from a broken family where parents didn’t give a s**t about teaching the kid how to talk.”

Despite Garcia’s attempts to clear his name, Doucette stood firm in his criticism. After Garcia’s B sample confirmed the initial drug test findings, Doucette had more than enough reasons to call out the boxing sensation, especially after Garcia feigned innocence over the allegations. He emphasized the severity of the situation, stressing that even trace amounts of banned substances shouldn’t be taken lightly.

The IFBB pro dismissed Garcia’s excuses, particularly his claim that trace amounts of Ostarine in his declared supplements were to blame, even finding his sarcastic mention of Prime consumption laughable. The 49-year-old didn’t mince words in his critique of Garcia’s response after the positive results. He pointedly addressed Garcia’s lack of responsibility and defiance, even suggesting his claims about the performance enhancers and their amount in his body were dubious.

Garcia after testing positive kept up his attack on Logan Paul’s Prime. Even stating at times that the prime was poison. As a result, soon after his B samples came back negative, Logan Paul filed a $1 million defamation suit against Ryan Garcia. This was also mentioned by Coach Greg in his video. Thus with a series of bad behaviors and impropriety, Garcia according to Coach Greg, deserved to have his win taken away from him. Moreover, drawing parallels to past athletes, he questioned Ryan Garcia’s integrity. He stressed the importance of holding athletes accountable for their actions, regardless of their public image.

But what about his issues with Prime Hydration?

Ryan Garcia apologizes to Logan Paul

During a recent interview, Garcia said, “I just want to say I’m sorry. I feel bad about our fight because I’ve known your family for years. This situation is breaking my heart. I don’t want to fight anymore. I don’t have a problem with PRIME; I had a problem with you. I’ll drink this right now.” While sipping the energy drink, he said, ” It’s actually great. I love you, bro. I’m done with this fighting.” Despite apologizing to Logan Paul, Ryan Garcia was called out by KSI, the co-founder of Prime energy drink for his statements.

Boxer Ryan Garcia faces mounting criticism. Greg Doucette’s recent remarks pile on top of Garcia’s ongoing defamation lawsuit from Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration and a failed drug test. Despite public apologies, Garcia’s lack of accountability continues to damage his reputation. Only time will tell how the boxer will emerge out of this storm that he has himself created.
