Golden Boy Promotions issued a statement expressing support for boxer Ryan Garcia following reports of a positive test for a banned substance before his recent fight against Devin Haney. The statement affirmed their belief in Garcia's denial of knowingly using any prohibited substances and stated their commitment to investigating the matter further in collaboration with his team.
According to ESPN, Garcia allegedly tested positive for Ostarine, a performance-enhancing substance, on the day before and the day of the fight. Ostarine, classified as a selective androgen receptor modulator, is known to promote muscle growth and is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency. The results of the test were disclosed after the fight.
