Doping in Ryan Garcia. The Athletic Commission may disqualify the boxer for a long time
The New York State Athletic Commission will consider the disqualification of boxer Ryan Garcia following his failed doping test.
According to BoxingScene, Garcia faces a potential lengthy suspension and a financial penalty. Furthermore, the athletic commission may overturn the results of his fight against Devin Haney, whom Garcia defeated.
It is worth noting that while the A sample showed a positive result for 19-norandrosterone, the doping test for this banned substance returned a negative result. Therefore, the athlete did not use this substance before the fight against Devin Haney. Further investigations focused on Ostarine.
The boxer himself asserted that he defeated Haney fairly and justly. Additionally, Garcia stated his intention to file a lawsuit against the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The results of the second sample, known as the "B sample," also confirmed the presence of banned substances in the boxer's system.
