WBC welterweight champion Devin Haney reacted to the news that Ryan Garcia, who defeated him on April 20 by majority decision, has tested positive for the banned substance ostarine.
"We found out about this situation not too long ago and it's unfortunate that Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans and boxing by fighting dirty and breaking doping rules not even once but twice.
Ryan owes the fans an apology, but judging by his recent tweet, he still thinks it's a joke. We risk our lives to make a living entertaining people. Boxing is not being played.
What happened puts the fight in a completely different light. Even though I was at a disadvantage, I still found the strength to fight and get back up again! People die in this sport. This is no joke," ESPN quoted Haney as saying.
