Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20

[Kemarit]

I remember now, there is Amir Khan who tested positive with the same ban substance with his fight with Kell Brook and he was given 2 years suspension. Although it is already a moot point since he has retired already, but maybe we can compare as how long the suspension of Ryan Garcia is.

British boxer Amir Khan has been banned for two years after an anti-doping test revealed the presence of a banned substance following his fight against Kell Brook in February 2022.

The former light-welterweight world champion tested positive for ostarine.

Although Ryan and his legal team is trying to appeal his case, most likely it will remain like that but maybe they can have a lighter sentence.

Although Ryan and his legal team is trying to appeal his case, most likely it will remain like that but maybe they can have a lighter sentence.

Ryan’s legal team insists that his ostarine levels were so low that it could have only been caused by contaminated supplements. I haven’t seen an official report from NYSAC or VADA that says what his levels were but I think this will determine the severity of his punishment. If it is 2 years then we can probably expect Ryan to do some influencer fights against the Paul brothers and other z-list celebrities.

Good observation though, I mean he could still earn millions fighting influencer or whoever wanted to have a piece of Ryan. Or maybe O'Malley from the UFC? That will be big and it will be a shocker if Dana White will allow it. In any case, it's not the end of the world for Ryan. And his antics though, that's what fans love about it, crazy but enough to create a lot of hype on this fight.

And I guess Ostarine is really prevalent, as in the case of a young athlete, Abby Raymond, she is a weight lifter.

You're right,

So it's really very small amount or just traces that they found of Ryan system. And we really don't know what the levels are, but if the lawyer says that it's "ultra low", then it's possible that Ryan could have gotten it from contaminated supplements that has this PEDS without his team knowing.

So what will happen here? you know it's getting complicated already as both camps have their own belief and Ryan has not admitted he used an illegal substance. I think we should just trust this matter to the governing body as I believe they know what to do so the truth will come out and punished Ryan if he needs to be punished.

What we are seeing now is just probably a legal battle, and we know this thing would last, until it will derive a decision, so we can't hype this conversation much as we are not experts, and maybe what we can do is just to speculate, not good. Let's discuss more on the upcoming fights for both fighters, especially Ryan which has no scheduled fight yet.

Yes, it will be a long and deliberate battle for Ryan Garcia's and his team. They can really argue that the trace only very small that it seems that Ryan didn't take it voluntarily. Although it can also be argued that he could also be taking some masking agent to hide Ostarine in his system.

But this is just another lessons to everyone, there have been many cases in the past, but supplements right now are very dangerous and we really don't know what's the content inside until it's too late or damage has been done to us and worst in our body.

Wow! So this thread is not yet closed. Most likely because the legal battle continues. I checked the records of Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney and their fight are still not voided. What I heard before is that someone gave Ryan 7 days to prove himself clean and it seems like the deadline was over. Are we seeing something shady here? So it means Ryan is clean or at least the levels of substance in his body was just small very low and so he is generally clean?

I really thought Ryan was using illegal substance because I considered VADA as the cleanest and most reliable among drug testing entities. But hopefully the issue ends and that Ryan's win over Haney remains valid. Ryan was already battling a lot leading into the fight, judges and referee were clearly against him as well.

Yes, most likely because of the issues with his tainted blood and allegations of PEDs, and we have to wait for the final verdict of the NYAC as if I'm not mistaken, they are the one hearing Ryan's case and his legal teams might have submitted everything for consideration.

It's really hard to speculate if he intentionally takes illegal substance or he doesn't know that he might have induce a supplement that contains that illegal substance. And only the commission can make the decision whether he is guilty or not and what will be the repercussions on him.

I think the organization has to act on this, they need to improve the system to ensure that a boxer can't cheat. It's done after the fight, it should be before the fight so they can decide if they'll allow a fight ot happen or not. I think what Mayweather demanded before on Pacman was just to ensure that he is not using any enhancement drug, and since the fight happened, I pressume all test were pass by Pacman but its just unfortunate he loss.

But this is just another lessons to everyone, there have been many cases in the past, but supplements right now are very dangerous and we really don't know what's the content inside until it's too late or damage has been done to us and worst in our body.

Some boxers will just try to cheat to have the advantage on the fight, for sure they are not ignorant about these things as it's a big fight and they are protecting their reputation here, but if they are the inferior fighter, they might use this desperate strategy to win.

[Kemarit]

And according to this report:

Two supplements listed on doping control forms submitted by star boxer Ryan Garcia before his win over Devin Haney showed the presence of the banned substance ostarine, according to Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory reports released Thursday.

The doping control forms, which were viewed by ESPN, were submitted alongside Garcia's urine-sample collections on April 19 and 20 (the day before and day of the fight), both of which returned adverse findings for ostarine.


The supplements: raspberry-lemonade flavored NutraBio SuperCarb, which showed the presence of ostarine at 70-2200 picograms per gram powder, and Body Health strawberry-flavored amino-acid blend (660-830 picograms). The other supplements Garcia listed on the forms: D3, iron, Thorne elite multivitamins and magnesium glycinate.

So is this the piece of evidence that will exonerate Ryan Garcia that he really did take contaminated supplements that they didn't know have a small units of Ostarine that was found in Ryan Garcia's system?

What will happen to the so called supplement company? This is obviously bad marketing for them. Or why is Ryan using this supplements and not other thousands out there? Has he been using this for a long time and this is the first time that he is caught?

[Baofeng]

^^ But I find this conflicting posts,



https://x.com/All4Boxing/status/1796645718360285345

Which one is telling the truth?

And so the plot thickens, usually in manufacturing, all products released are based on lots and if one lot is contaminated, everything is considered contaminated already and it's either recall if released to the public of the company totally stop it and find the issues.

But here, if we based on this reports, it's only the supplement that Ryan's uses of all the lot are supposedly contaminated.

[Baofeng]

And the company clarify things already, Supplement company fires back at Ryan Garcia's claim product contained banned substance.

"NutraBio has never manufactured a supplement with Ostarine, and has never brought Ostarine into our manufacturing facility," Glazier said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "We have a long-standing commitment to producing the highest-quality supplements, trusted by athletes worldwide.

So it looks like the legal team of Ryan Garcia is trying to manipulate everything and blame it on the supplements. But the CEO clearly states that they don't used Ostarine in their supplements.

Gonna be hard to proved otherwise now for Ryan Garcia and his team to get cleared by NYSAC.

[Yaunfitda]

^^ It's just a question on who believed here. And for the legal team, they cast a shadow of a doubt on Ryan so maybe that's what they are trying to say here. If the company is not acknowledging it, then somewhere along the way, Ryan's sample could have been contaminated.

But the burden of proof is still with them though, but it's a good strategy, but not sure of NY State Athletic commission, the one that is hearing Ryan's case is going to favor Garcia. And so a eminent suspension might be the decision here. And Haney's lost change to No Contest.

[Finestream]

That's a big blow for Ryan. However, I think the fans would not mind that and they'll continue to believe that Ryan owned Haney. It cannot be denied now that Ryan's popularity is far greater than Haney's. Whatever the outcome of that test/investigation, I believe if Ryan is suspended, it won't be too long for him to consider retirement. Let's allow the case to progress and see if they can destroy what Ryan has achieved in that fight.

[TopTort777]

Half of the topic we were discussing the pre fight drama and chances of one guy to beat another, other half of the topic we are discussing post fight drama about Ryan being unclean. When in the end, everyone will remember how Ryan sent Haney on his butt with his left punch. When will Haney stop crying and accept his defeat? Who cares if Garcia missed weight and wasnt clean, Haney is a professional and prodigy boxer, not just an amateur. If Haney is really that good, he should beat two Garcias at once, one handed with eyes closed. But in the end Garcia outstriked him and knocked down three times.

I do agree, we can't deny the fact that Ryan Garcia has dominated Haney and even if they turn it to a NC, we have seen how Ryan put down Haney and he has no answered for the left hook or how powerful Ryan is in that fight. It's just that Ryan could have won without steroids (if he intentionally take it), so that it will not put any stain on his record and it's official that Devin Haney is his b**ch.  . Suspension could be the best thing that can happen to Ryan here and not a life time ban. At least he can get back in boxing again if ever because he is still very young.

Lol, they underestimated Ryan Garcia, that was their biggest mistake. They let the fight to push through even if Ryan was 3 pounds over the limit as they think that they could beat Ryan's ass even with one hand hehe and not that their perception was wrong, they now turned to other things just to tarnish Garcia's reputation and declared this fight a no-contest.

They've also imposed penalty for every pound that he is over the limit, so I think it's fair to Ryan and Devin's side and just to really push the fight and not totally cancelled by the governing bodies. And there's no belt on the line because of this issues. Anyhow, it's done already, Haney could have underestimated Ryan because he thought that he can take the power.

But it's too much as we have seen that he went down several times and you can see in his body language and face that he really don't know what hit him. Let's wait for the final verdict for Ryan Garcia, his legal team is really doing everything they can to put the peds allegation at the side and not get him suspended.

They might put a asterisk on that kind of victory though, just like when Margarito was caught with plaster of paris in this fight fight with Cotto. And during that first fight, we all mock Miguel for taking a knee and can't even hurt Antonio.

But when he was caught in the next fight against Shane Mosley, it was a different Margarito and then Cotto takes a revenge win. So there is this argument as well against Ryan, but the Ostarine issue will be very different unless they have a rematch and see if he is clean and not over the weight limit, he can still beat this version of Devin Haney. And maybe it will break that stigma against him.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

WBC already releases their statement as they are the governing body or at least the belt that was on the line during this fight although Haney retain his belt because of Ryan's going over the limit of 140 lbs in this fight.

“In the meantime, the WBC has continued to investigate the pharmacological characteristics of Ostarine, the details of the tests’ results that led to the adverse findings, and any other explanation that might relate to the adverse findings.

“The WBC will continue to provide updates of the process it is undertaking as additional information becomes available.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/wbc-requests-more-information-from-ryan-garcia-continuing-investigation--184018

Not sure though what kind of characteristics they are looking at. Ostarine has been ban for many years by VADA and has been in their list of testing regardless of how minute it is, they are going to find it in your system and it seems that they are the foremost experts obviously and their test are really that realible.
