In a shocking turn of events, rising boxing star Ryan Garcia has tested positive for a banned substance in a recent drug test. The news has sent shockwaves through the boxing community, with many wondering what this means for Garcia’s career moving forward.
One person who has been quick to react to this news is promoter Bill Haney. Haney, who has been a vocal supporter of Garcia in the past, expressed his disappointment in a recent statement. “I am saddened to hear about Ryan’s failed drug test. As a young fighter with so much potential, it’s disheartening to see him make such a mistake. I hope he takes this as a learning opportunity and comes back stronger than ever.”
On the other hand, Garcia’s longtime rival, Tank Davis, had a very different reaction to the news. In a now-deleted tweet, Davis wrote, “I always knew there was something fishy about that kid. This just confirms what I’ve been saying all along. He’s not as clean as he claims to be.”
The response from both Haney and Davis highlights the mixed reactions within the boxing community to Garcia’s failed drug test. While some are choosing to support him and offer words of encouragement, others are using this as an opportunity to criticize him and question his character.
It remains to be seen what actions will be taken against Garcia following this failed drug test, but one thing is for sure – this scandal has certainly put a damper on his promising career. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
