Conor McGregor has put Ryan Garcia and Sean O’Malley in his crosshairs! The Irish MMA icon recently took to social media to make his thoughts known on the reports that revealed that Garcia tested positive for banned substances after his recent victory over Devin Haney.

In his unfiltered post on X, McGregor didn’t hold anything back as he condemned Garcia for his actions and claimed that he was “juiced” and “cheated” on the weight limit for the bout.

According to the initial report shared by ESPN’s Mike Coppinger, boxer Ryan Garcia tested positive for the banned substance, Ostarine, both before and after his stunning upset over Devin Haney. While Garcia has refuted the information in a video shared on X where he stated, “Never taken a steroid. … I don’t even know where to get steroids. … I barely take supplements.” Conor McGregor isn’t convinced.

‘The Notorious’ took to X to post a lengthy and pointed rant where he stated, “Cheated the weight and was juiced, lifetime ban. Sad to see, sad to say. Sad and a bit sick. Don’t come near me if I see you ever Ryan Garcia. I am actually disgusted. This ostarine it reminds me of Sean o malley was on that as well.”

His comments about Sean O’Malley refer to the UFC fighter’s past issues with USADA when he was suspended for 6 months by NSAC (Nevada State Athletic Commission) back in 2018 for testing positive for Ostarine, as well. McGregor continued his tirade as he challenged both Garcia and O’Malley to sparring matches, offering to set up flights and accommodations for the showdown.

He questioned their actions and warned Garcia that if he were Devin Haney’s father, there would be severe consequences and despite his anger towards Garcia and O’Malley, McGregor praised Haney’s performance, calling it heroic. “What the f*ck happened to you, you little fool. Get your head together cos I gonna smash it in with elbows if you don’t.” This statement from social media encapsulates the Irishman’s thoughts on the affair.

In conclusion, McGregor’s reaction to the news highlights the seriousness of doping allegations in combat sports and the consequences they can have on fighters and their opponents too, as Devin Haney, has also made his thoughts known on the entire situation.

Devin Haney slams Garcia for “disrespect” towards the fans and the sport of boxing

While Garcia has been vocally denying the allegations of PED usage, Devin Haney has come out to slam his opponent for his actions. In a statement made to ESPN, Haney stated, “We learned about this situation not too long ago and it’s unfortunate Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans and the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and breaking positive… People die in this sport. This isn’t a joking matter.”

The drug in question, Ostarine, has been on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) list of banned substances since 2008. And in the past, other boxers like Lucian Bute and Amir Khan have also tested positive for the same and had to face repercussions for the same.

According to the ESPN report, Garcia has 10-days to request another test for his B-Sample according to protocols and it remains to be seen how the situation progresses.
