American boxer Ryan Garcia failed a drug test just before his explosive victory over undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) super-lightweight Devin Haney last month, ESPN reported on Wednesday.
The sports broadcaster said Garcia tested positive for the banned performance-enhancing substance Ostarine on the day before the April 20 bout in New York as well as on the morning of the fight.
ESPN boxing reporter Mike Coppinger added that Garcia also screened positive for another banned substance, 19-norandrosterone, although that result was described as “unconfirmed.”
