The fans now know where Ryan Garcia has learned to face the fate. Even though it was just a momentary meeting Garcia had with Deion Sanders after the CU Spring game, it did not take much for all the passion to win the game to seep into Garcia. Garcia pulled off a big win against Haney, but now he’s facing uncertainty after a failed weight and drug test. The A-sample initially tested positive for Osterone, then negative, leaving his fate up in the air. Following this, a B-sample is also requested from Garcia after the performance-enhancing substance was found only in the billionth of a gram range, “Providing no performance-enhancing benefit whatsoever on fight night,” per ESPN.

The developments were going on at their normal pace when Kim Slumber made the ultimate mic-drop moment of the plot. The head of the New York State Athletic Commission resigning amid Garcia’s ongoing controversy only thickened the plot. Following this, several questions and allegations were hurled at Garcia, while he was partying each night in Vegas with his newly formed friend Deion Sanders Jr. Hence, his friend had to jump to his defense when it came to all the allegations against him.

“I ain’t seen a backpedal this good since Deion Sanders,” Deion Sanders Jr. reposted a caption on his Instagram story along with Ryan Garcia’s post headlining, “Head Of NYSAC resigns.” “They tried to set me up and now look at them run,” Garcia captioned his post, alleging the move to be a result of VODA’s allegedly fake positive tests as Ryan Garcia’s attorney Chavez claims it to be negative. Despite being surrounded by doping allegations, Garcia continues to win. Garcia has forged the situation to be almost enigmatic. So much so that the fans can’t guess his next move, something that reminds Sanders Jr. of his father’s legacy.

Is Ryan Garcia on his way to building a Deion Sanders-like legacy?

Remember the time in 1989 when Deion Sanders when Deion Sanders very iconically ran off the field waving at everyone after casually finishing the 40-yard dash in a record-breaking time at the NFL Combine? Well, Per Sanders Jr’s defensive words for Ryan Garcia, it seems that he is expecting his friend to weave a story similar to his father.

Will he be able to? Is a real question here. Deion Sanders has not built a legacy stemming from controversy, for starters. However, the boxing world has witnessed several cases where drug controversy creates big publicity for the fighter. Will the same prove to be the case for Garcia? Drop your thoughts down in the comments.
