Ryan Garcia Setting Up Live Drug Test? Ex-NFL Player Urges Caution Amid Mental Health Worries

Ryan Garcia and his recent antics have set the sports world abuzz. Cryptic messages, bizarre claims about Bohemian Grove, and unsettling posts, including him talking about his own death, have caused great concern for his fans as well as the boxing community at large. Is he unraveling or is this a call for help? Amidst this chaos, he’s announced a live drug test.

Why? To silence whispers of substance abuse? But when Le’Veon Bell, former NFL running back, warns him off, we pause. It’s not just about a test. It’s about a man, a career, and perhaps a cry for help. And it’s certainly not what he needs while preparing to face Devin Haney next month.

Should Ryan Garcia not do the test?

In a recent, now-deleted tweet, Ryan Garcia shocked his followers by announcing, “I’m going to set up a live drug test.” This declaration came amidst a flurry of troubling posts, including one where he claimed, “Bohemian Grove is real. I absolutely don’t give a f**k anymore.”

Such statements have fueled rampant speculation over his mental state and have pointed to possible alleged drug use. Quickly responding, former running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Le’Veon Bell cautioned Garcia, replying, “lol don’t do it bro,” hinting at the potential risks or misinterpretations that could arise from such a public spectacle.

And this isn’t the only thing Bell said to Ryan.

Bell’s take on Garcia’s peculiar behavior

The build-up to the Garcia-Haney bout has taken an unexpected turn, veering into the realm of the surreal. Le’Veon Bell, stepping into the role of an unsolicited analyst, offered another unique perspective on Garcia’s recent erratic behavior. He suggested a psychedelic twist, attributing Ryan’s oddities to psilocybin, commonly known as magic mushrooms. On his X profile, Bell candidly speculated, “I feel like Ryan Garcia had a bad batch of [mushrooms]… that’s just my feeling.”

His comments paint a picture of confusion rather than clarity, hinting at a possible drug-induced cause behind Garcia’s cryptic social media escapades. Bell isn’t the only one concerned about Ryan, everyone including Eddie Hearn himself, couldn’t stop but give out his opinion. He said, “He’s definitely not himself. The principal feeling is that he’s (Garcia) ok, and he’s healthy. That’s the main priority, but also, he’s gotta be prepared to be ready to fight one of the best fighters (Haney) in the sport.”

Is it a mere byproduct of pre-fight antics, a genuine call for help, or, as Le’Veon Bell suggests, an unusual reaction to a “bad batch” of psychedelics? As the days dwindle down to fight night, the speculation will undoubtedly intensify. How do you interpret the unfolding drama in the countdown to April 20 at the Barclays Center?
