Ryan Garcia's PED scandal took another twist after the results of a test for a potentially another steroid came out on Tuesday night.
Garcia has been on the hot seat after his urine samples ahead of his win over Devin Haney on April 20 revealed traces of the banned substance Ostarine.
The sample also showed banned PED 19-Norandrosterone. However, upon further testing, VADA's results showed that the second substance was not confirmed in the urine sample. Nevertheless, the Ostarine traces remain present after the latter tests.
'Urine sample @RyanGarcia provided April 19 that was positive for Ostarine but also showed banned PED 19-Norandrosterone needed more testing to confirm. That's done,' Dan Rafael tweeted on Tuesday. 'Per lab report sent to VADA, which I've obtained, it 'did not confirm.' THERE IS NO 3rd test failure.'
While Garcia can be less worried knowing he did not test positive for two banned substances, there is still room for consequences, given the Ostarine traces.
