The supplements were received unsealed
Ryan Garcia‘s legal team has revealed that two supplements the boxer took before his April 20 victory over Devin Haney were contaminated with ostarine, a banned performance-enhancing substance.
This discovery could lead to Garcia facing sanctions, including a ban, a fine, and the potential overturning of his win by the New York State Athletic Commission.
“The test results from samples of two supplements declared by Ryan Garcia on VADA Doping Control Forms, signed on April 19th and 20th, have returned positive for Ostarine contamination,” attorney Darin Chavez, representing Garcia, said in a statement.
“This confirms what we have consistently maintained: Ryan was a victim of supplement contamination and has never intentionally used any banned or performance-enhancing substances.
The supplements in question, NutraBio’s “Super Carb” and BodyHealth’s “Perfect Amino” powder, were tested by Sports Medicine Research and Testing in Utah.
This marks the first time Garcia has publicly identified the specific supplements, having previously mentioned only that he took ashwagandha.
No comments by VADA
The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), which reported Garcia‘s positive tests, has yet to comment on whether Garcia disclosed these supplements prior to the fight.
Moreover, Sports Medicine Research and Testing noted that the supplements were received unsealed, a deviation from typical anti-doping testing protocols.
Before his fight with Haney, Garcia came in over three pounds above the weight limit and humorously sipped from a beer bottle during the ceremonial weigh-in.
Haney later stated that Garcia paid a 1.5 million dollars penalty for missing weight, forfeiting his chance to fight for Haney‘s then-unbeaten WBC 140-pound belt at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
