What he took is for people with cancer to help them protect their muscle from wasting away during chemotherapy.Unless one of the PEDs says on the label "Makes you punch faster" then I don't understand or give a shit.
What does the PED he took help with?
What a ridiculous comment. So you don't care about weight classes or banned substances. Yeah what a credible take.Unless one of the PEDs says on the label "Makes you punch faster" then I don't understand or give a shit.

VADA actually has no power over whether a fight takes place or not. They are strictly a testing agency. At least thats what I was told at one point.Interesting fact is that they knew he tested positive for it the day before and the day of the fight and nothing was said and the fight went forward anyway, he also did not test positive in any of the dozens of tests leading up to the fight. There has also been no official release of the test results so far (at least that I have seen). Ostarine would not have offered any performance increase IMO and its something that is commonly found in over the counter supplements, but the weird thing is that Garcia is claiming it came from Ashwagandha supplement but how was that supplement even tested so quickly? IDK as usual boxing is shady as fuck with their PED testing and business practices, IMO two possible realities here....the positive test was real and known prior to the fight and they ignored it entirely because it was a huge money fight and Eddie kept the result in his pocket in case Haney lost, or the test result is bogus and it was indeed due to a supplement taken within the final days leading up to the fight unknown to Garcia or anyone else and the results did not come back until after the fight.
Hard to say what the reality is here, but looking at Garcia's response I tend to lean into the fact that he knew he took something as he was so quick to blame it on an over-the-counter supplement when I find it very hard to believe that VADA has tested this product so quickly and thoroughly enough to point it to the concrete cause of the result.
Really a shame as what he took would not have made him a better boxer, improved his speed, technique or power....so if he willingly took something...then that's a major stain on his career. But on another note I am still glad he beat the racist Haney.
That's not a fact or how testing works. It takes days for results to come back. So if you submit a test the day before and the day of the fight , the results don't come back until after the fight. So that still means you tested positive the day before and the day of the fight.Interesting fact is that they knew he tested positive for it the day before and the day of the fight and nothing was said and the fight went forward anyway, he also did not test positive in any of the dozens of tests leading up to the fight.

It’s an accepted fact that athletes use PEDs across sports no? Some mask it better than others, while some sports plainly allow their stars to juice freely. In this case their 31-1 star will now have their loss reversed and image revived while other guy gets thrown to pasture
This isn't true, it takes weeks for these tests to process. They took his blood on April 19/20 but the actual results take a while. Nobody sat on the results.Interesting fact is that they knew he tested positive for it the day before and the day of the fight and nothing was said and the fight went forward anyway, he also did not test positive in any of the dozens of tests leading up to the fight.

I'm not the biggest Haney fan but he gets way too much shit. People don't like the fact that he's had so much success, they think him beating kambosos and becoming undisputed was a lucky break since Loma was on the front lines, then they think Loma was robbed, and then they just don't like his style. But the question everyone has to ask is, what have guys like Shakur Stevenson and Tank Davis done? Tank isn't exactly out there challenging himself. As for Ryan, he's a coward. If these tests are true, then he deliberately juiced AND avoided a big weight cut because he was too scared to fight Devin on even terms. Disgraceful. The sad part is he might've beaten Devin without the cheating due to the style matchup.This Ryan Garcia apologist trend is getting fKn nUTZ
I get not liking Haney. I totally get and agree with not liking Bill.
Haney can be a boring fighter at times.
He said some silly racial shit once
He could of fought Tank or Shakur by now
Bill has become insufferable
But to prop up a win for somebody who came in 3 pounds over for a championship fight while they potentially had multiple banned substances in their system is more than just not liking Haney. You have some altererior motives outside of boxing and sports at this point to ignore this.
Ridiculous territory we are in.
Get these troll takes out of here.Lol, Bill paid off more people than just the referee. Can't wait to see Floyd reply to Haney in person.
So are you saying Haney is on drugs??? Its kind of shitty to assume somebody who by all accounts has a pretty clean lifestyle of something so damaging.As if Haney isn’t on drugs. The biggest thing is missing weight by 3 lbs
You think devious Bill is involved, lol imagine: but only an idiot would shut down any avenues at this stage and Hearn needs to stay out of this shit with his track record lol has he found Benns B sample yet?Lol, Bill paid off more people than just the referee. Can't wait to see Floyd reply to Haney in person.
Devin is a boring fighter and really cringy when he tries to go all "tough guy" because you can see thats not really who he is.I'm not the biggest Haney fan but he gets way too much shit. People don't like the fact that he's had so much success, they think him beating kambosos and becoming undisputed was a lucky break since Loma was on the front lines, then they think Loma was robbed, and then they just don't like his style.

The fight went the distance. Did you even watch it?They wanna rob Ryan since the beginning, and inside the ring, and now after the fight lol Whether Haneys can discredit the win or the WBC, no one can deny that Ryan KO'd their boy fairly in the ring.
Are you people being serious here?Lol, Bill paid off more people than just the referee. Can't wait to see Floyd reply to Haney in person.
