New layers to Garcia vs. Haney.
The lead up to Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney was a bizarre spectacle with Garcia playing social media mindgames and having people worried about his mental health.
Garcia missed weight for the fight, only adding to speculation that he wasn't in proper condition for the fight.
Garcia erased doubts once the bell rang, dropping Haney multiple times en route to a decision victory.
According to reports, Garcia tested positive for the banned PED Ostarine.
Garcia positive tests per source with direct knowledge: Failed for Ostarine in 2 urine tests on April 19 & post-fight April 20. April 19 sample also (from VADA letter) "screened positive but was not confirmed for 19-Norandrosterone pending IRMS analysis currently being run."

Garcia has denied that he took any steroids and questioned why the report was coming out now or why he would have been allowed to fight.

Failed tests are always reported after the fight based on pre and post-fight samples.
We'll let it play out.
