The famous boxer, however, denies the deliberate use of banned substances. Garcia’s tests found the banned substance ostarine, which produces a similar effect to testosterone.
Garcia has 10 days to request tests of the “B” sample. Garcia’s “A” sample also tested positive for 19-norandrosterone, but this has not been officially confirmed pending further investigations.
It is significant that the former boxing world champion Amir Khan recently received a two-year suspension for such doping analyses, which theoretically may threaten Ryan as well.
The 25-year-old Garcia has fought 25 times in the ring, winning 24 of them. Garcia is considered an extraordinary talent in boxing circles, with all his achievements and titles still ahead of him.
