Ryan Garcia isn’t out of hot waters yet, but he is trying his best to drag Devin Haney in with him! At the start of this month, the Victorville native tested positive for performance-enhancing drug Ostarine the day before and on the day of the fight against ‘The Dream’ Haney last month. However, there’s yet another twist in the story! Who would have seen this coming?

According to a report received by Garcia’s attorney, Darin Chavez, on Tuesday, the other substance, 19-Norandrosterone, found in Garcia’s A-Sample has seemingly vanished. Plus Garcia had on Monday requested an analysis of his B-Sample, which will be done on May 22 in Chavez’s presence. However, after the findings showed the absence of 19-Norandrosterone, Garcia took to X, blasting Devin Haney for Haney’s positive test, but it’s not a drug. 

Ryan Garcia ropes in P. Diddy to humiliate Devin Haney

Following the new test findings, Garcia wrote on X, “Nobody [is] talking [about] Devin testing positive for Diddy’s D Supplement that’s messed up.” It is, of course, a sarcastic dig at Haney, who was once photographed with P. Diddy, a.k.a Sean Combs. The Bad Boys record founder has found himself at the center of several controversies.

However, this wasn’t the first time Garcia has tried to get under Haney’s skin by roping in Combs into the conversation. Ahead of the fight, Garcia shared a clip of himself in the gym, wearing a shirt featuring Haney and Combs side by side. He had captioned the post, “Devin and Sean Combs sitting in a tree.”

That being said, despite being at the verge of suspension if his B-Sample tests positive, Garcia has admitted to being on drugs! 

Garcia claims he was high on the day of the Devin Haney fight

Despite criticism, Ryan Garcia has been rather open about his drug and alcohol use, right from the start. However, even he didn’t see the VADA controversy coming, so while appearing in the Fully Titled podcast on May 7, he revealed he was drinking and smoking cannabis throughout the buildup and on the day of the fight with Devin Haney.

“It was literally drinking every day, smoking w**d. I didn’t stop, not even until the f***ing day of the fight. And I got in there high as f*** and I beat his a**. It was a walk in the f***ing park. I had harder fights in sparring,” Garcia said. While cannabis isn’t illegal in most states, it also isn’t the best look for ‘King Ry,’ especially after the VADA debacle. 

As the latest reports show, Ryan Garcia has tested negative for 19-Norandrosterone, which was present in his system, according to VADA’s A-Sample tests. Something Garcia seems to be celebrating thoroughly, but he has to remember, he is still at risk of testing positive for Ostarine again.
