Ryan Garcia tests positive for PED Ostarine

That does what? Literally encourages muscle growth and makes you bigger, faster, stronger. The text book definition of performance enhancers. If you want to play semantics so be it, but this is one of the more blatant violations I can recall.

 

Corruption exists for money. Garcia is the money machine not Haney so they should actually be wanting to protect their investment. Haney is not a draw, the powers that be have no reason to prefer Haney over Ryan. Your conspiracy theory is based on 1 referee being biased in the fight, which does not mean some grand conspiracy exists against Ryan. Conspiracy theorists rely on bad logic. There is nothing suspicious about this at all infact its not surprising at all. Framing a fighter for drug cheating would be a serious crime, they would be risking so much to do it and for what reason? Just because they like Haney? So silly.

 

Right, I am not disputing any of that; I just don’t understand why he keeps getting all these favors.

 

I didn’t say it wasn’t a PED; I said it wasn’t a steroid. If it was a relatively common steroid, he could try the tainted beef excuse. I don’t think too many cows are on SARMs.

 

You summed it up pretty well. Funny thing is, some off the responses here are as just as whacko as Garcia's.

 

Yeah it don't make sense here. Who is protecting Haney ? Who has got it out for Garcia ? Isn't he American like Haney and a bigger money maker ? What A side advantages make people fail tests

Only scenario I can think of is Hearns pulling the strings, maybe

 

But he is 100% correct, isn't he?? Im all for Garcia to get a ban if he was cheating for real, but no way on hell that ugly **** Haney ain't on a hard stuffs, and the real cheater is him. He should have been DQ like 10x time in the 7th round alone. Yet the corrupt ref do all he can do to safe his *** and not even take a single point away from the serial hugger. This ain't f*** boxing and this is embarrassing for the sport.

 

Maybe they were helping Haney out because they already knew garcia had tested positive and knew haney was fighting an uphill battle with Ryan's ped test and coming in heavy lmfao.

 

If this was discovered, why did the fight occur in the first place? Why is this being talked about now? Garcia getting caught with it is extremely dumb and seems to showcase he needed the added weight+enhancer to beat Haney.

Its such a bad look for the sport- give Ryan the win and you give a cheater a W, or scrub the L from Haney's record and it just screams manufactured to make Devin look better where a fight should have never taken place. Such a joke all around.

 

A guy fails to make weight by a long way and then tests positive for performance enhancing drugs and there are people pointing their finger at the other guy??

I'm done reading this fanciful sh.t.

 

I hate this for Ryan because I'm a fan but to come after Haney is ridiculous. Can you imagine if this was the other way around. If Haney came in overweight beat ryan and then tested positive for peds he would be run outta boxing.

 

Who is THEY? Tell me who has not only a judge in their pocket but also VADA? Who is compelling VADA officials to risk their careers and freedom by committing Federal crimes by framing fighters as drug cheats?

 

The fight happened because Haney is a warrior, he didn't want to ruin or rob us of a eventful prize fight. Also the 1.5 million means nothing right now, risking his health against being remunerated, I would choose the health is wealth take. Not saying I would refuse the fight if I was Haney, but honestly, his desire for greatness should be rewarded with positive feedback. We all talk about John Ruiz holding and this and that, but yet he's on every single mythical h2h matchup in the classic section. Why is that that Devon gets disrespected a whole bunch because he holds? Dammit man, the kid is the goods, nothing but class, just because he's a big dude that makes weight doesn't make him a PED abuser or user. I see a lot of positives with the kid. A good heart, and very mature and respectful for his age. I have nothing against bill Haney either. Were acting like bill and Devon are club fighters and a yes man who threw a towel over his shoulder, c'mon! These 2 guys made it to the TOP echelon of boxing, and their pockets are done swole fat, tell that to the fool azz earth dudes, lol.

 

They is the ref and the judges. I'm trying to figure out if the ref and judges knew of this failed test before the fight.
