In the wake of Ryan Garcia testing positive for Ostarine after the massive win against Devin Haney, Team Haney strongly condemned ‘KingRy’ who subsequently forfeited a purse of $1.2 million he had earned from the event. Additionally, the decision of the fight was changed to NC resulting in Haney remaining undefeated in pro boxing. However, now, out of the blue, a leaked call has come to light accusing Devin Haney of popping performance-enhancement drugs.
After Garcia’s adverse analytical finding, Devin Haney celebrated the “justice” he “was able to receive.” On that note, the current WBC Super-Lightweight champion even aspired to be an “advocate for clean athletes” in a sport as brutal as boxing. However, Haney’s link with anti-doping advocate and sports nutritionist Victor Conte has now been questioned. Is Conte responsible for Devin Haney’s alleged consumption of substances banned by the VADA?
Well, in the leaked call, a female voice wonders how Haney is “able to cut 30, 40, 50 lbs, and then rapidly replace that with 25, 30, 40 lbs in one day or two days.” Additionally, the voice claims Haney shows “no sign of fatigue” even after fighting for twelve rounds. While the identity of the lady remains a mystery, she somewhat claims that Conte encourages the consumption of an old PED unrecognized by the banned list provided by WADA. This has breathed fire into Ryan Garcia.

Ryan Garcia sends a message to Eddie Hearn over hurt “feelings” too
We have seen Devin Haney gain a significant amount of weight right after the weigh-in. For example, when Devin fought Regis Prograis, ‘The Dream’ gained 25 lbs in just one night to weigh in at 165 lbs at the time of the match which led fans to label Haney as a “weight bully.” At the same time, Prograis gained 17.8 lbs too! So, as the lady has pointed out in the call, it is a fact that Haney has gained tremendous weight in one night. But, after Ryan Garcia tested positive for Ostarine, Eddie Hearn demanded the result of the fight be changed which hurt Garcia’s feelings.

Therefore, Garcia wrote, “Ima sue dazn as well and Eddie Hearn for mentally hurting my feelings.” On the other hand, the lady on the call implied there were no tests available for an old substance like Ostarine. But if that was the case, how did Ryan Garcia test positive for the same substance? In this context, it is worth mentioning that Ostarine has been on VADA’s banned list since 2008 and in 2022 VADA considered it an anabolic agent. With that said, what do you make of the call? Do you think Ryan Garcia has consumed a banned substance? Let us know in the comments below.
