C\ufeffontroversial American boxer Ryan Garcia has had his win against Devin Haney<\/a> stripped and has been stood down for a year.<\/p>\n

The New York State Athletic Commission has banned Garcia for 12 months after he tested positive to a banned substance following the win over Haney in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Haney's WBC super-lightweight world title – that he won off Australia's George Kambosos in 2022 – was not on the table for the Garcia bout after the latter weighed in heavy, and chugged a beer in bizarre pre-fight scenes.<\/p>\n

Garcia dominated the fight and knocked Haney down three times to be declared the winner on the night.<\/p>\n

But samples taken before and after the fight later tested positive for Ostarine, which is banned as it aids in building muscle mass in athletes.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"Ryan<\/p>\n

Garcia has always denied taking Ostarine or any performance enhancing drug.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The news also means Haney's professional record will return to unbeaten.\ufeff<\/p>\n

On Thursday – almost 24 hours before news of his suspension broke – the outspoken Garcia tweeted "I'm officially retired".<\/p>\n

Then after the news was confirmed on Friday morning he took to X to go on a rant about his suspension.<\/p>\n

"They took my victory away," Garcia wrote in one tweet.<\/p>\n

"Take my victory away add that on to the list of the shit I'm already going through… I'm ready for business. Get ready I already ain't give a f—. Run when you see me.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI really hope boxing good without me. They have turned their back on me. I'm innocent.<\/p>\n

"Now I'm gonna expose the whole game – say cheese."\ufeff<\/p>\n

Garcia then claimed he would speak to UFC boss Dana White about switching to the octagon.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"For real Dana White hit me up," he wrote.<\/p>\n

Garcia's team released a less unhinged statement following the suspension.<\/p>\n

"Ryan Garcia was a victim of substance contamination," the statement read.<\/p>\n

"Ryan, with his legal team, has resolved this issue and firmly maintains his truth; he never intentionally took any banned substance. It's simply not in his nature."<\/p>\n

The statement went on to label Garcia's win over Haney a "masterclass".<\/p>\n

Garcia had taunted Aussie boxer Kambosos over social media in recent weeks but any bout between the pair will now have to wait at least 12 months.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
