Associated PressPromoter stands by Ryan Garcia after a report he tested positive for a banned substance
Golden Boy Promotions said in a statement Thursday that it stands by Ryan Garcia after a report that he had tested positive for a banned substance before his dominant victory over Devin Haney last month in New York. "Ryan has put out multiple statements denying knowingly using any banned substances — and we believe him,” the statement read. ESPN reported that Garcia tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Ostarine the day before and the day of the April 20 fight, citing a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association letter.
