Ryan Garcia's Supplements Tested Positive for Banned Substance Around Haney Fight

Additional details of Ryan Garcia's failed drug test from samples collected prior to his April 20 bout against Devin Haney have been made public.

Per the Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory report (h/t ESPN's Mike Coppinger), Garcia listed two supplements on his doping control form that contained the banned performance-enhancing drug ostarine.

The supplements were a NutraBio SuperCarb and Body Health amino-acid blend. Coppinger noted the former supplement showed the presence of ostarine at 70-2,200 picograms per gram powder, while the latter supplement contained 660 to 830 picograms of ostarine.

Garcia's drug test was originally reported to have come back positive for ostarine on May 1.

Garcia requested his B-sample be tested, which also returned positive in a Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory report released on May 23.

In a statement released by Garcia's attorneys on Thursday, they blamed "supplement contamination" as the reason for the failed tests:

"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. Any claims to the contrary, questioning Ryan's integrity as a clean fighter, are unequivocally false and defamatory."

Attorney Paul Greene, who is representing Garcia, told Coppinger there was a "negligent component" to his client's actions but he's hopeful the presence of ostarine in the supplements will prompt the New York State Athletic Commission to issue a reduced suspension for his client:

"I'm hopeful that [the punishment] will be on the very lowest end of how they determine these cases. Normally, there's a range of sanction based on degree of fault, and when you have a situation where you have a contaminated supplement where it's not available in an internet search, it's not on a label, there's no way an athlete could have possibly known the banned substance was in there unless they would've sent it to one of the two WADA-accredited laboratories in advance."

Greene believes a suspension of "four months or less" would be appropriate discipline for Garcia.

Garcia went into his fight with Haney 3.2 pounds over the 140-pound limit, but the two sides were able to come to an agreement to go through with the bout. King Ryan won the match by majority decision, but he wasn't able to win the WBC super lightweight title due to coming in overweight.

Haney, who went into the fight with a 31-0 record, has formally requested the result be overturned to a disqualification that would keep his perfect record intact.
