sport news Devin Haney is 'absolutely FURIOUS' after Ryan Garcia's failed drug tests, says ... trends now
Eddie Hearn says Devin Haney has been left 'absolutely furious' following the news of Ryan Garcia's failed drug tests, with the beaten super-lightweight champion calling for an 'immediate no-contest'.
Garcia picked up the bragging rights in his grudge match with Haney on April 20, knocking his former amateur rival down three times and claiming a majority-decision win - albeit having come in three-and-a-half pounds over the super-lightweight limit.
Nearly two weeks on from that victory, it has now emerged that the 25-year-old tested positive for Ostarine, a banned substance that builds muscle mass and enhances rate of fat loss, both the day before and the day of the fight.
Boxing journalist Dan Rafael reported on Wednesday night that Garcia failed for the substance in two urine sample tests for the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, while a sample also screened positive for 19-norandrosterone - another banned substance - but is unconfirmed pending further lab analysis.
