Athletes’ reputations in professional boxing depend on their moral character within and beyond the ring. The sport’s rising star, Ryan Garcia, came under fire recently when he tested positive for a prohibited substance. Nevertheless, Garcia has effectively eliminated these uncertainties by obtaining a negative test result for Ostarine before and after his most recent bout.
The scandal started when Garcia tested positive for the muscle-building drug Ostarine, also known as a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has banned Ostarine because it enhances performance. As a result, the the New York State Athletic Commission suspended Ryan Garcia for one year and forfeited boxer’s $1.1 million official contract purse.

Ryan Garcia, renowned for being transparent with his followers, used social media to address the issue immediately. In several posts and a public declaration, he conveyed his relief and vindication over the negative test results. Garcia clarified how much he values clean sport and detests the use of performance-enhancing substances. He reaffirmed his commitment to natural talent, hard work, and the values of fair competition.
