Ryan García and his doping controversy: What substance he would have ingested and what suspension he could face

Last Saturday Ryan García defeated Devin Haney at the Barclays Center in New York. In a fight surrounded by controversy due to García’s repeated statements, the pushing during the presentation and especially the weigh-in, in which Ryan went over three pounds, which prevented him from taking the title from Haney despite beating him.

These controversies seem to have not been left alone in the fight and recently according to a report from ESPN The young boxer Ryan García would have tested positive for doping before and after his fight with Devin Haney.

García would have tested positive for Ostarine on Friday the 19th in the run-up and on Saturday the 20th, the same day of his fight with Haney. The information was revealed directly from a report from the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association to which he had access ESPN.

What is Ostarine? Substance that Ryan García would have ingested

Ostarine in the world of medicine is known as MK-2866 and is a chemical compound that different organizations that fight against doping are investigating as a therapy to counteract the loss of muscle mass. Although it has been noted for its potential therapeutic benefits, ostarine has not been accepted by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for medical use.

Ostarine is an androgen receptor agonist, meaning it acts like a male sex hormone in the body. It is used as a supplement to increase muscle mass and strength in people with chronic kidney disease and aging-related muscle loss. However, there are concerns that using ostarine may have serious side effects, such as changes in cholesterol levels and an increased risk of prostate cancer.

Possible suspension of Ryan García

Clearly the substance that García would have ingested is illegal in the world of boxing. So the young boxer could face a heavy suspension.

Taking into account precedents from similar cases such as that of Lucian Bute and Amir Khan. Who also tested positive for ostarine a couple of years ago, Garcia could initially lose the fight to Haney by disqualification.

On the other hand, KingRy could be suspended from the ring for two years. Taking into account the sanctions that were applied to Bute and Khan at the time for testing positive for the same substance.
