Ryan Garcia testing drama
Social feeds are buzzing about reports of a positive drug test linked to Ryan Garcia after a recent public debate — the allegation surfaced in a debate thread between Greg Hackett and Henry Garcia and has fans split over credibility and timing [X].
Video clips of a heated exchange between trainer Greg Hackett and Ryan Garcia’s father/trainer Henry Garcia were posted March 16–17, 2026 on MillCity Boxing’s YouTube channel. (youtube.com) Hackett argued that Garcia’s demeanor and physique in the April 20, 2024 fight vs. Devin Haney looked “different” compared with his later outings, linking that change to ostarine and saying the absence of the substance explained Garcia’s May 7, 2025 performance against Rolando Romero. (boxingnews24.com) Henry Garcia pushed back in the exchange, publicly accusing Devin Haney’s camp of “ducking” a rematch and calling testing demands a “smoke screen” during the debate clip. (msn.com) The testing record tied to the Haney fight shows an adverse analytical finding for the banned molecule ostarine after the April 20, 2024 bout, (sportingnews.com) the B‑sample was later reported to confirm the finding, (bleacherreport.com) and the New York State Athletic Commission announced a one‑year suspension (June 20, 2024), plus forfeiture of a disclosed $1.2 million purse and a $10,000 fine. (espn.com) The debate’s timing matters because it surfaced after Garcia re‑emerged in the title picture — he defeated Mario Barrios by unanimous decision to win the WBC welterweight title on February 21, 2026 at T‑Mobile Arena.
