The worst nightmare of Ryan Garcia fans may have finally come true. The results of the young boxer’s B sample have reportedly turned out positive for the banned substance ‘Ostarine’. It confirms the findings of the tests conducted based on the A sample. Garcia had placed the request for his B sample to be tested after reports came that he had failed to clear doping tests conducted for the Devin Haney fight. Now, with the details of the B sample out, fans will be eagerly looking forward to how things unfold for the young Californian. But what about those on the other side of the bank? The latest revelation has only provided them with the much-needed ammo to slam Ryan Garcia. On understandable grounds, Bill Haney didn’t waste the opportunity.
But his rant, which is now gaining considerable traction, saw him point a finger at the entire Team Garcia. It included Garcia’s parents as well. In a spectacular reversal of fortunes, on April 20, ‘KingRy’ snatched victory from the undefeated champion Devin Haney by a majority decision at New York’s Barclay Center. But ever since, he has been embroiled in a controversy that has raised serious questions about his legacy.

Calling out Ryan Garcia, Bill Haney first checked whether he should call the former ‘Frankenstein’. Then, addressing the young boxer’s parents, father Henry Garcia and mother Lisa Garcia, Haney Senior said, “Henry Garcia and Mrs. Garcia, the way that you did, put things in him and let him do certain things. Now I don’t know what laboratory you’ all doing it at, and I don’t know what kinda schemes you concocted.”
Then he chided the Garcias and their legal team to take the hair testing route to prove ‘KingRy’s innocence without any member of Team Haney being present. He continued, “I’m gonna tell you one thing, Team Garcia: you’re out of pocket, and you’d been out of pocket for a long…long time. And everybody around you they gonna suffer the the same exposure cuz you all are cheaters.”
Incidentally, Ryan Garcia also took to his Instagram post to share an update on the test conducted on his hair sample. Citing the infamous ‘O.J. Simpson Case’ he said, “I beat the case like Orange juice. Let’s go the glove DIDNT FIT.” Then later, he told everyone to unfollow Logan Paul: “Okay, unfollow LP.”
Jake Paul‘s elder brother has reportedly filed a defamation suit against ‘KingRy’ for allegedly promoting disinformation about ‘Prime Hydration’. But what now for Ryan Garcia? What are the options he has to stay put in the sport?

So, citing Garcia’s lawyer, a piece on ESPN mentions that Team Garcia plans to have a formal hearing with the New York State Athletic Commission. Their objective would be to prove that Ryan Garcia hasn’t been involved in any sort of wrongdoing. With his hair sample now confirming no presence of ‘Ostarine’, the team strongly believes the substance might have entered the young boxer’s body via contamination.

If Team Garcia succeeds in proving that a positive test result occurred on account of supplement contamination, then ‘KingRy’ could be on a safe course. In the absence of the same, he might face measures such as the suspension of his boxing license. Additionally, hefty fines would be imposed on him as well as the possibility of his bout with Devin Haney being marked as a no contest. Fans will be eagerly watching out as the situation further unfolds in the coming days.
