Boxer Ryan Garcia had been defending himself from the two alleged failed drug tests that came out after his fight against Devin Haney. He has always maintained his innocence and said that if he took these substances, he wasn't on purpose and his food may have been tempted. In a third test that was conducted this week, the results came out negative for a third banned substance called nandrolone. The first two allged failed tests were for banned substances ostarine and a nandrolone metabolite. However, that second positive test required further analysis. After that analysis, Ryan Garcia has been cleared of nandrolone usage but that didn't stop people like Claressa Shields to go after Ryan Garcia.

Ryan Garcia admits he fought Devin Haney on drugs, but not steroids

A fellow fighter who has always defended Ryan from this scandal is none other than Gervonta Davis, who defeated Ryan when they fought. 'Tank' has always maintained that he doesn't believe Ryan Garcia would use a banned substance on purpose. On the X platform, he even defended Ryan from Shields' attacks. Writing: "So Ryan beat buddy ass fair and square. What the French bulldog face lady [Claressa Shields] have to say about this? And she blocked me. I should've blocked her as for the way she look. Her scare me."

In the latest turn of events, journalist Dan Rafael was the one who reported that Ryan Garcia has been cleared from his second banned substance usage but the first one remains pending after an appeal from Garcia's team. Meanwhile, Ryan started taking victory laps on his X account and even got Devin Haney to react. This is what he wrote: "So yall realize I didn't fail the tests now. No substance other then this imaginary ostrich substance. Level so low wouldn't have any effect. THEY TRIED BUT NO LIE STANDS. PRAISE GOD."
