Ryan Garcia Suspended for One Year After Positive Drug Test

The boxer's April victory over Devin Haney is overturned, and he forfeits $1.2 million in earnings.

  • Garcia tested positive for the banned substance ostarine before and after the fight.
  • The New York State Athletic Commission ruled the fight a no-contest, maintaining Haney's undefeated record.
  • Garcia's suspension is retroactive to April 20, 2024, and he must pass a drug test to be reinstated.
  • The boxer has announced his retirement from the sport via social media, citing frustration and alleged corruption.
  • Garcia's team claims the positive test was due to supplement contamination, a claim disputed by some experts.
