Ryan Garcia tested negative on 2/26, 3/8, 3/15, and 4/3

He failed when it mattered and that's really all there is to it. The past test are irrelevant.

Kev help me here.

Why are so many trying to defend Ryan here?

I get you’re just posting what you know to be true.

He didn’t make weight then pops positive. What has he done to deserve the benefit of the doubt?

It's generally from people that don't like Haney.

I rarely defend anyone who fails a test, I don't think I've ever done it, but this is first guy I've seen to get straight onto video, speak to the world rather than saying nothing and keeping it hidden or releasing some scripted statement. When you watch him, he really doesn't come off as someone who cheated/took PEDs.

I agree, I think we need more information before pointing fingers. Because it doesn’t make any sense at the moment.

This was a Maidana-Broner moment for boxing and i’m sure some would love to put this loss under the rug and say Haney is undefeated.

It's generally from people that don't like Haney.

What the common theme seems to be on here is people pick and choose when they want to do a PED crusade. Not saying TS is doing that, but generally speaking.

Look at Conor Benn’s situation, he passed all of his VADA drug tests before and after his two failed ones.

He tested positive for Clomid, which is barely even a PED if I’m being honest, it’s used as a PCT. And realistically speaking, the timing of those failed drug tests for Clomid doesn’t really add up.

But Benn is labelled a certified cheat, and rightfully so because at the end of the day banned substances were in his system twice.

If we look at practically any failed PED case, they’re all close to the same. 1-2 failed tests, for trace amounts, surrounded by a number of passed tests throughout camp.

If we are going to throw one out, then we need to throw all of them out. But that would be silly.

People defending A LITERAL CHEATER because he is a prettyboy is absolutely ****ing insane! Man y’all are a disgrace to boxing, no offense.

Does any failed PED case make sense then?

Does Canelo’s make sense? Does Conor Benn’s make sense? Does Amir Khan’s make sense? Does Dillian Whyte’s make sense? Does Tyson Fury’s make sense?

The same thing that applies for Garcia applies for all of them.

You are saying this because he’s a little prettyboy loser. His looks are the only reason you are defending him.

Lol that’s a little sus for you to say…it sounds like some massive, massive projection there my dude. An out of left field comment. Notice no one here had said anything gay like that yet.

But back to what Weebler said, it’s true, fighters aren’t quick to defend themselves like this but it doesn’t make him innocent, and also, I think this vehement denial of PED use is a younger generation thing. The Benn kid did/is doing a similar thing with his failed drug test and he has actually seen some success with his defense.

It could also be that guys like Benn and Garcia truly believe they are innocent and that’s why they’re really the only one’s who are angrily defending themselves with such passion.

Ostarine clears your system in 48 hours. So it's very possible he took it last minute.

Only two possibilities: Garcia took Ostarine knowingly, or he took a supplement that was contaminated with Ostarine.

No one takes Ostarine to cut weight. It is not a diuretic.

So, if I give him the benefit of the doubt: he took a substance that was contaminated.

[TheCell8]

We don’t know what he was doing.

Yes they do, they can tell us the purpose of their use. Right now i’m leaning towards using it to make weight. It’s pretty relevant. We also know he had trouble making weight.

Ostarine clears your system in 48 hours. It's absolutely plausible that Garcia took it right before the fight hoping it would clear his system in time. Huge backfire.
