Ryan Garcia is the gift to boxing that keeps on giving! His fight against Devin Haney ended last month, but it can’t stop making the headlines. In a twist that could put the most dramatic TV Shows to shame, the Victorville native tested positive for banned substances the day before and on the day of the fight against Haney. But the story doesn’t end here!

Garcia has proven that he couldn’t just let this opportunity to troll his critics slip out of his hands. So, in true Garcia fashion, he hopped on X with yet another twist to the Ryan Garcia storyline! What’s that? Well, ‘King Ry’ has roped in popular musician P. Diddy into the mix! 

‘Who paid for the drug test?’ reveals Ryan Garcia

On Wednesday, the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association sent letters to several media outlets, revealing Garcia tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance called Ostarine. Then get this! Mike Coppinger of ESPN revealed Garcia has ten days to request testing of his B-Sample. However, Garcia seems to have come up with a conspiracy theory behind all this instead.

In an X post hours earlier, Garcia responded to the latest controversy, saying, “Diddy paid for the drug test Allegedly.” It’s worth noting that just moments before this tweet, Ryan Garcia shared a clip addressing the allegations against him. He said, “I came on here to address this bull f**king s**t claim that I cheated. Everybody knows that I don’t cheat. Why didn’t they come up with this before the fight, if they found it before? Why would they let me step in the ring as a cheater?”

Haney’s loss in last month’s fight was a shock to everyone, especially after all the antics Garcia pulled before the fight.

So, when Garcia’s test became public knowledge recently, Devin’s father went hog wild with his response.

According to Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated, Bill Haney told him, “You trying to hurt my baby. We played it fair. We didn’t do it like that. Fuck boxing, this is some bullshit. I came from the streets. You scared of Devin on a level playing field. I feel fucked up over this. If you can brag about doing it, you shouldn’t be on drugs.”
