Ryan Garcia Promises to Leave Boxing if Guilty After Drug Allegations
Allegations Against Garcia
Boxing star Ryan Garcia firmly denies all allegations regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs. In a notable and celebrated match last month, Garcia defeated Devin Haney.
Originally, the fight was set for the super-lightweight title, but Garcia missed the opportunity after failing to make weight. Nevertheless, on the day of the fight, Garcia shone, knocking Haney down several times and ultimately winning by decision.
Positive Test Raises Concerns
In early May, it was revealed that Garcia tested positive for ostarine. The boxer vehemently denies using steroids and during an interview with YouTube boxer Jake Paul, Garcia went as far as to promise to leave the sport if found guilty.
Heated Exchange on Instagram Live
The conversation took place on Instagram Live, where Jake Paul confronted Garcia about the allegations. “Ryan, if you did it, that’s really fcked up,” said Jake Paul. “I’d be mad at you, as a friend. That’s fcked up.” Garcia responded, “If I did it, which I damn well know I didn’t, I would stop boxing.
I didn’t do it. It’s totally crazy. God watches me all the time. I wouldn’t do anything to deceive people. I could have hurt him. I could have killed him. Why the hell would I do that? It’s so stupid, I’m not going to do it. Absolutely, I would never cheat.”

Ongoing Controversy and Conspiracy Theories
Unsurprisingly, Garcia has faced massive criticism after testing positive. He has consistently claimed innocence and has thrown around conspiracy theories. Garcia suggested that certain individuals are trying to frame him, citing his appearances with former president Donald Trump and hinting at involvement by Haney’s Team.
What’s Next?
The situation remains uncertain, but it is highly likely that Garcia’s B-sample will be tested and the results will be publicized soon.
