Video: Ryan Garcia Reacts to 'Bull F--king S--t Claim' of Positive PED Test vs. Haney

Ryan Garcia responded Wednesday to reports that he tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing drug on April 20 before his majority decision win over Devin Haney.

"I came on here to address this bull f--king s--t claim that I cheated," Garcia said.

"Everybody knows that I don't cheat," Garcia continued. "What can I say? Why didn't they come out with this before the fight, if they found it before? Why would they let me step into the ring as a cheater, and then come out with the victory, and then they post this?

"Again, these are people that are trying to attack me, for whatever reason. But no weapon against me shall prosper, I've never taken a steroid... I don't even know where to get steroids, at the end of the day. I barely take supplements."

Garcia missed weight ahead of what was scheduled to be the WBC Super Lightweight title bout before earning a majority decision victory over Haney earlier this month.

Boxing reporter Dan Rafael and ESPN's Mike Coppinger reported Wednesday that Garcia had tested positive for ostarine, a banned PED, the day of the fight.

Haney also responded to the allegations in a statement provided to Coppinger.

"It's unfortunate Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans and the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and breaking positive not once, but twice," Haney wrote.

After Garcia weighed in at 143.2 pounds the day before the 140-pound title fight, he "immediately asked to cut a deal for the fight to proceed," Coppinger reported in April.

As part of the deal, Garcia agreed to give up eligibility to win the WBC junior welterweight title, per Coppinger.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said after the bout that Haney would retain the title despite the loss, which would have generally left the belt vacant.

It is now unclear if that loss will stand. Coppinger reported that the decision "stands to be overturned" unless a second sample comes out clean.

Coppinger noted that testing positive on the A-sample, but negative on the B-sample, is "rare."

Garcia entered the bout as an underdog to Haney, but knocked down Haney three times to pull off the upset.

Prior to the bout, he had drawn attention on social media for posts that openly discussed drinking and using marijuana. Garcia later said these posts led to him being asked to undergo a mental health evaluation from a New York sports commission prior to his fight at Barclays Center.

Garcia later told Coppinger he "got cleared from the commission to fight after the evaluation and drug test."

Ostarine is a type of selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration describes SARMs as "chemical substances that mimic the effects of testosterone and anabolic steroids." It is not contained in any legal medications, according to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
