Regarding Devin Haney's failed test, Ryan Garcia makes a significant decision.

After a turbulent few weeks, American fighter Ryan Garcia has made a significant choice about the failed drug test he took both before and after his fight with Devin Haney in April.

Against all odds, Garcia defeated Haney in their bout at the Barclay Centre in Brooklyn, shocking the globe. Garcia gained a lot of weight during the battle and later stated that his failure to gain weight before the match was deliberate.

Garcia defeated Hayey three times in the super lightweight division, but while winning, he was not allowed to capture his first world title since he had exceeded the contest's official limit.

Days later, it was discovered that he had tested positive for ostarine, a protein that binds to proteins in the body, stimulating muscle growth and, among other things, aiding in the retention of muscle mass and accelerating the rate of fat loss.

Following the announcement, Garcia first refuted the allegations and, in a letter obtained by ESPN, has now formally asked for his B-sample to be examined.
While many people in the sport have already voiced their opinions, Garcia's attorney, Darin Chavez, has stated that he will be present when the sample is opened and examined on May 22.

Garcai's A-test also tested positive for 19-Norandrosterone, according to a recent letter from the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association; however, additional research has revealed that this substance was absent from his system. Since then, Chavez has cited this as proof that Garcia has not benefited from the medications that are in his system.

"This demonstrates that the only supplement contamination we are dealing with is in the billionth of a gram range, and it had no effect whatsoever on Ryan Garcia's performance on fight night. We now have to wait until May 22 for B-sample testing to determine whether low-level osteorine is present. 17 days prior, he was negative.

The supplement's maker, Gaia Herbs, released a statement stating that "contrary to any recent confusion [it] doesn't contain Ostarine" in response to Garcia's claims on social media that the effects are due to the ashwagandha root.

Garcia may be subject to fines, suspension, and possibly even having his decision to defeat Haney overturned if he is ultimately found guilty. The New York State Athletic Commission has informed ESP that it "is in communication with VADA and is reviewing the matter."
