Ryan exceeded the weight limit and failed a doping test
WBC junior welterweight belt holder Devin Haney wants to get the result of the fight with Ryan Garcia.
“I spoke to Devin last night and he’s furious. The guy was 3 pounds overweight and had doping in his system. He will demand immediate withdrawal from competition. Regardless of Ryan’s innocence or guilt, he had performance enhancing drugs in his system when he fought Devin and was 3 pounds overweight. From Devin’s point of view, you think, ‘Bloody hell, I got robbed,'” promoter Eddie Hearn said.
Let’s remember that ostarine was found in Ryan’s blood. This drug is used to improve endurance performance.
In the next 10 days, sample “B” will be opened. Garcia’s team is trying to understand how ostarine got into the boxer’s body. Ryan himself denied doping.
Let us remind you that the Haney-Garcia fight took place in Brooklyn, at the Barclays Center. Devin was knocked down three times during the fight. According to the judges’ notes, Ryan triumphed with scores of 114:100 and 115:109. Another judge recorded a draw (112:112).
Garcia, despite the victory, did not take the championship belt from Haney, as he exceeded the agreed weight category limit. According to WBC head Mauricio Sulaiman, the belt does not become vacant, but remains with Devin. After the defeat, Haney himself immediately hinted at revenge.
