It’s a crazy world! Ryan Garcia tests positive for a banned substance. His opponent’s corner condemns it, but his older opponent supports him. In a recent pinch, the Victorville native came under fire for testing positive for a banned substance before and during the fight against Devin Haney last month. However, that’s not the twist in the story! The real twist reared its head when Gervonta Davis tweeted about it.
Earlier today, Mike Coppinger from ESPN broke the news on X, revealing Garcia has tested positive for “the PED Ostarine.” While Garcia has ten days to request testing of his B-Sample, most people, including ‘The Dream’ Haney, have already branded the 25-year-old a cheater. However, ‘Tank’ Davis isn’t one of them, who accused Eddie Hearn, Haney’s promoter, of concocting the whole thing on social media.
Gervonta Davis brands boxing world “d**k s***ers”
Hours after the news broke, Davis hopped on X with a scathing message for the people accusing Garcia of cheating. In a now deleted tweet, the Baltimore native wrote, “They [are] doing anything to take away the win from Ryan..if that’s the case BANNED EDDIE HEARN SILVER POON A**!” However, Davis quickly realized one tweet wasn’t enough to express his disdain!
So, he took another shot at it! In a following tweet [also deleted], he bashed the entire boxing world, backing Garcia while accusing Eddie Hearn of some serious stuff. “The whole boxing world is straight d**k s***ers.. and every boxer on my tl that claiming Ryan cheated.. tf he got to cheat for, we fought nothin[g] came back positive.. he fight on the side (DAZN) w the promoter CLEARY want his fighter to win and got PUT! Eddie know for doin[g] dirtys**t,” wrote Davis.
However, there’s always two sides to a story, so here’s how Devin Haney reacted to the new revelation about Ryan Garcia’s drug tests.
Devin Haney calls out Ryan Garcia for dirty tactics and lack of remorse
According to a tweet from Coppinger, Devin Haney has issued a statement to ESPN following the groundbreaking update. “Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans and the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and breaking positive not once, but twice,” Haney’s statement read. Claiming he has always advocated for clean fights, Haney suggests Garcia has no remorse.
“Ryan owes the fans an apology, and by his recent tweet he still thinks this is a joke,” wrote Haney. Highlighting boxers put their lives on the line to entertain the masses, Haney feels his fight against Garcia can be seen from a whole new perspective. In addition, to make his stance even clearer, Haney wrote, “People die in this sport. This isn’t a joking matter.”
That being said, it’s yet to be seen whether Ryan Garcia will be able to clear his name amid the controversy. However, it’s worth mentioning that ‘The Flash’ had missed weight before the fight, so he doesn’t have to worry about losing the belt. Who do you think is on the right here? Gervonta Davis, who fought Garcia in the past or Devin Haney, who was embarrassed after Garcia exposed his lack of skills.
