In the aftermath of his controversial win over Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia finds himself at the center of a storm ignited by none other than UFC icon Conor McGregor. The boxing world was left reeling when it emerged that Garcia had tested positive for ostarine, a banned substance, both prior to and on the day of his bout with Haney.
Despite being unable to make weight for the WBC super lightweight title shot, Garcia triumphed over Haney via a majority decision, punctuated by three knockdowns at the Barclays Center. However, the joy of victory has been overshadowed by the cloud of doping allegations.
In a bizarre turn of events, Garcia denied any wrongdoing in a video posted on X, only to further assert his innocence during an Instagram live session. Nevertheless, the evidence presented by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), as reported by ESPN, paints a damning picture.
McGregor hits out at Garcia
Enter Conor McGregor, never one to shy away from controversy. McGregor initially extended congratulations to Garcia on his victory before swiftly pivoting to demand justice.
In a now-deleted post, McGregor called for nothing short of a lifetime ban for the 25-year-old boxer and challenged both Garcia and UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley to a spar, going as far as offering to cover their travel expenses.
“Cheated the weight and was juiced, lifetime ban,” McGregor wrote.
“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. I don’t like this, I’ll bust yous both up, do yous want a spar I will set the flights right now for you both for a full on spar each.
“Hotel, black forge inn the lot. #letssparomalley and #garcia two little ostarine heads I’ll ride you both like yous are ostriches. Wtf is up. What do you think you’re at?
“If I was Haneys [sic] dad you’re dead no matter what for doing that. Crazy. What the f*** happened to you, you little fool.
“Get your head together cos I gonna smash it in with elbows if you don’t. Fair play Devin well done.
“Your performance has just become even more heroic. Bravo! GET YOUR HEAD TOGETHER OR KILL YOURSELF.”
