According to the firsthand information ESPN received from the police department, yesterday, Beverly Hills Police took Ryan Garcia into custody. The arrest was made under ‘felony vandalism’ following a complaint filed by the hotel. They claimed that the boxer inflicted $15,000 worth of damage. His latest brush with the law seems to have only added to the troubles the young boxer is facing, both professionally and personally.

Subsequent information seemingly received from Ryan Garcia’s attorney-at-law suggests the police officials took him to the Beverly Boulevard-located Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. A former interim lightweight champion, 25-year-old Ryan Garcia, staged one of boxing’s most sensational updates when he defeated former undisputed champion Devin Haney on April 20. But sadly, the days following the emphatic triumph witnessed him going through one setback after another. If only challenges at the office weren’t enough.

Legal Storm: Ryan Garcia Faces Fresh Challenges

It seems the Victorville-born boxing superstar reportedly expressed concerns over his health. Hence, law enforcement authorities took him for a proper review and medical attention. The tweet from Mike Coppinger read, ““He was taken by the BHPD to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment and, to our knowledge, may be charged with public intoxication,” Garcia’s attorney, Darin Chavez, told ESPN.”

A statement from Ryan Garcia’s lawyer read, “An extraordinarily challenging time for Ryan, as he has been grappling with devastating news regarding his mother’s health. Ryan has been open about his struggles with mental health over the years, and at this time he is dealing with an immense emotional burden.”

Details such as the kind of alleged damage that “KingRy’ might have caused remain unavailable, it seems. As his lawyer mentioned, the setback follows the devastating news at home. In an emotionally charged message, Ryan Garcia revealed that his mother, Lisa Garcia, was found to have cancer. Later, he posted another message on X: “If my mom dies, I’m going with her.” Sadly, things don’t appear encouraging on the professional front for him either.

Career in Crosshairs

The young boxer awaits a verdict from the New York State Athletic Commission. The governing body is currently reviewing the doping charges leveled against Ryan Garcia following his win over Devin Haney. Reportedly, tests conducted on primary samples or sample ‘A’ taken the day before and on the fight day returned positive results for the banned substance ‘Ostarine’. Right from the beginning, ‘KingRy’ contested the findings, insisting that he was free of any wrongdoing.

So he hoped the results of the ‘B’ sample would vindicate his stand. But it seemed the young superstar had really miffed Lady Luck. Unfortunately, the results of sample ‘B’ returned an outcome that matched the initial findings. But Garcia and his team never gave up. Continuing to assert his innocence, the team even got his hair samples tested independently! Then the last-ditch effort followed. Now contesting that ‘Ostarine’ must have entered his system through ‘supplemental contamination’, Team Garcia had two of the listed supplements tested at a lab. What was the outcome? Both returned positive!

Now the ball is in the athletic commission’s court. What could happen to ‘KingRy’? He can face a ban on his boxing license. But a lenient approach might reduce the duration of the ban to a few months.

Probably it is during these times, when he is experiencing the lowest point in his life, that Ryan Garcia might need all the support from his fans. If you are one, you may post a message in the comments below.
