Ryan Garcia’s Legal Team Addresses The Boxer’s Positive Tests For Banned Substance

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia is being accused of utilizing illegal performance-enhancing substances. On April 20 in Brooklyn, the boxer emerged victorious over Devin Haney in a widely publicized bout. Ostarine, a prohibited drug, was discovered in Ryan Garcia’s B-sample test, according to ESPN. It is also alleged that his A-sample, which was obtained before the fight with Haney, tested positive for the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). Regarding the accusations made against the 25-year-old prizefighter, Garcia’s legal team has provided comments.

The lawyers for Garcia, including Paul Greene, Matt Kaiser, Darin Chavez, and Guadalupe Valencia, maintain that their client did not use Ostarine or any other performance-enhancing drug. “Ryan Garcia is committed to clean and fair competition and has never intentionally used any banned substance,” the statement reads. “Soon after being notified of his positive test, Ryan voluntarily had his hair collected and shipped to Dr. Pascal Kintz, the foremost expert in toxicology and hair-sample analysis.” All in all, Garcia’s legal team is asserting his innocence.

Ryan Garcia’s legal representation has put out a strong statement asserting their fighter’s innocence. The statement continues, “The results of Ryan’s hair sample came back negative. This is consistent with contamination and demonstrably proves that Ryan had not ingested Ostarine over a period of time — the only way he would have had any advantage whatsoever in the ring.” His lawyers stated, “Ryan has voluntarily submitted to tests throughout his career, which have always shown negative results. He also tested negative multiple times leading up to the fight against Haney.”

Additionally, Ryan Garcia could be a victim of “supplement contamination,” according to the attorneys. The boxer did not obtain any “performance-enhancing benefit,” according to his camp, prior to his matchup with Devin Haney. His legal team concluded their statement, saying, “We are certain that one of the natural supplements Ryan was using in the lead up to the fight will prove to be contaminated and are in the process of testing the supplements to determine the exact source.” Overall, Ryan Garcia and his team are fighting back against the allegations of PED usage. All in all, the situation will be developing for some time.

Logan Paul Sues Ryan Garcia For Defamation Following His Second Positive PED Drug Test

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia’s B-sample, drawn for his fight against Devin Haney, apparently tested positive for the illicit substance ostarine on Thursday. The testing was conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA). Tests took place both before and after Garcia defeated Haney on April 20 by a majority decision. Garcia may be subject to fines, suspension, or even having the result of the bout ruled invalid. Now, Logan Paul has reportedly sued the boxer over the positive test results, citing defamation.

Logan Paul recently vented his anger on social media, saying that he feels his drink company is “under attack” by false narratives spreading on the internet and that he has to take action, with Ryan at the top of his list. In the complaint, Prime details Garcia’s claimed misconduct by citing his social media tirades about the drink’s detrimental side effects, including how it will “hurt you big time,” “mess up your guys’s (sic) liver,” and “kill your guys’s (sic) brains,” without providing evidence to back up the accusations. “Today we begin to hold those accountable who’ve damaged our brand for attention while we correct the narrative,” Paul said on Instagram. “We’re here to stay and will continue to change the world of hydration with bold flavors and creative innovation.”

Logan Paul Is Suing Ryan Garcia For Defamation

Ryan Garcia is being sued by Logan Paul and Prime. The lawsuit is positioned on the grounds of unjust enrichment, unfair competition, trade libel, and defamation. Additionally, the complaint details Garcia’s claims that Prime includes “ostarine,” a prohibited chemical for which he tested positive during his fight with Devin Haney. Prime is an official sponsor of Devin Haney. Garcia’s remarks, according to Prime, are hurting the company’s sales by implying that it is associated with the devil. Additionally, Garcia is said to have claimed that the company’s workers have “burned” and “assaulted” children. According to the lawsuit, Garcia is aware of the falsity of his assertions. Yet he is still making these ridiculous claims to further his own brand, which is built on creating drama.

Garcia has not yet responded to the case, but we anticipate one shortly. What was a monumental moment in his career, his win against Devin Haney now might be his lowest point. He has lost a lot of credibility after it was confirmed he tested positive for a banned substance. Overall, we are interested in what’s next for Ryan Garcia and whether or not this lawsuit will continue. All in all, things are not looking good for Garcia.

Ryan Garcia Is Heated About His Latest Positive Drug Tests

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Regarding his most recent drug tests, Ryan Garcia wasn’t pleased with the news. His B-sample, which was taken for his bout against Devin Haney, reportedly tested positive for the illegal drug ostarine on Thursday, according to lab reports. Following tests performed by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) prior to and following Garcia’s majority decision victory over Haney on April 20, boxing writer Dan Rafael made the results public on Twitter. It is safe to say Ryan was not happy about the results.

Positive test results shouldn’t come as a surprise, though. It is uncommon for an A-sample and B-sample to have different findings. This additional evidence verifies Garcia’s positive test result for the prohibited drug, which was first published on May 1. Ryan Garcia’s victory over Devin Haney was already in doubt, but now, it is officially voided in the minds of fans and may soon be voided entirely. Garcia was already overweight for the fight and that already cost him the opportunity to take Haney’s WBC belt. Ryan Garcia has now responded online with absolutely no chill at all.

Ryan Garcia Reacts To Latest Drug Test News

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

Ryan Garcia tweeted, “Let’s go, we positive. Positive vibes, bruh. Yes, so happy.” He continued with another tweet, “I F***ING LOVE STERIODS.” He followed that one up with, “I don’t care; I’ll never make money again with boxing… your loss, not mine…For setting me up…lol joke on yall.” Garcia did not take the news well. He asserted it was all a set-up. Potential punishments may include a suspension, penalties, or even having the fight’s outcome invalidated because Garcia and Haney engaged in combat in Brooklyn, New York.

What was a career milestone for Ryan Garcia is now a serious low point. Regrettably, Garcia’s career-defining moment was marred by the positive drug test. He defeated Haney by three knockdowns and a decision, but also, with the confirmation of PED usage, could have seriously hurt his opponent. Maybe there is some way for a rematch to ensue, but it seems unlikely anytime soon. Ryan Garcia may be done boxing and may take up trolling online as his new career path. Overall, a great moment in boxing has now been shrouded in controversy.

Ryan Garcia Claps Back At Kyle Rittenhouse After Tweet About Native Americans

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For weeks, Ryan Garcia and boxing fans had been on an unpredictable journey. The bout between Daniel Garcia and Devin Haney was highly anticipated, and Garcia emerged victorious. What followed his wild whirlwind lead-up to the fight was multiple new developments. Most strikingly, Garcia stood accused of using PEDs before the big fight after failed drug tests, throwing his victory into suspicion. Garcia has still been active on social media and has been the same outlandish self he has been the past few months. Now he is using his powers on Kyle Rittenhouse, calling out the controversial conservative on Twitter.

On Twitter, Kyle Rittenhouse recently quoted a picture of Native Americans protesting at Mount Rushmore. He said that if they don’t like America, then leave. Ryan Garcia randomly decided to chime in and inadvertently blasted Rittenhouse in true Ryan Garcia fashion. Garcia’s response went viral, and many fans started to praise the boxer. Overall, social media was in a frenzy after Ryan Garcia called out Kyle Rittenhouse. It’s an unexpected turn for Garcia, who doesn’t seem to have any concrete beliefs or a care in the world.

After Kyle Rittenhouse tweeted Native Americans saying that they should leave the United States if they don’t like it, Ryan Garcia clapped back. Ryan replied to Rittenhouse, saying simply, “Didn’t you like k-ll people or am I tripping.” When Kyle Rittenhouse was 17, he shot three men in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a protest, claiming self-defense. He was controversially found not guilty of all charges. Since then, Rittenhouse has been making a name for himself as a conservative figure in his new career.

Garcia calling out Kyle Rittenhouse is hilarious but also confusing. Garcia was pictured and videoed hanging out with Donald Trump a few weeks ago, and Rittenhouse is associated with Trump. Overall, Ryan Garcia successfully clowned Rittenhouse and made quite a stir on social media. Garcia is currently training for his next fight. We don’t know if it will be a rematch between himself and Devin Haney. Hopefully, we hear some news about the rematch soon. In the meantime, let us see who else Ryuan Garcia decides to call out on social media.

Lil Wayne Explains His Mike Tyson & Jake Paul Fight Prediction

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When folks ask for others’ predictions on the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, the answer might seem obvious in both directions. One is a boxing legend with decades of experience and acclaim, but the other is not even half as old as the icon is. Still, a lot of folks are banking on the more renowned boxer to take the crown at the end of the day, including one of hip-hop’s most passionate sports commentators. Moreover, Lil Wayne recently graced Undisputed with yet another guest appearance, during which he had a very interesting take on the whole situation.

“If it’s a real fight, I have Mike Tyson, and I believe it’s a disrespectful question,” Lil Wayne remarked of the upcoming Mike Tyson and Jake Paul eight-round bout on July 20. “I don’t care if he was 85. You saw the clips. If one of them workout punches hit anybody, you done.” Maybe it’s not as “disrespectful” of a question as he thinks, considering that fellow rapper Cam’ron actaully thinks there’s a chance that the former Vine star could pull an upset off.

Lil Wayne’s Take On Mike Tyson Versus Jake Paul

“Mike is my man [but] this is my prediction for the fight,” Cam’ron remarked on his It Is What It Is sports talk show with Mase earlier in 2024. “If Mike don’t get him out of there in five rounds, then I believe that Jake Paul’s gonna win the fight.” “Killa, I hope you don’t see Mike. Mike gonna want to talk to you about that,” his co-host joked after his take. In fact, as it turns out, the Dipset MC actually ran into Tyson at an airport after he gave this take, and the “Mo Money Mo Problems” feature narrated the occasion comically.

“Cam is on his way here, he’s probably not gonna make this show,” Mase revealed. “He was calling me while he was getting on this flight and he had some sad news. Mike Tyson, the guy he was running his mouth about, was standing right behind him when I saw him on FaceTime. I think Mike was whispering too him, ‘Cam, I need to talk to you.’ And then Cam say he gonna call me back but he never called me back.”

Drake KO’D By Kendrick & Now Oleksandr Usyk After Losing $500,000 Bet On Tyson Fury

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It is safe to say that Drake may want to put the month of May behind him and in a hurry. Of course, the main reason is because of his highly publicized beef with Kendrick Lamar. A lot of witnesses to one of the biggest feuds in hip-hop history feel that Drizzy caught the L right on the dome. But now, the losses are snowballing, as Drake is down $565,000 dollars after Tyson Fury lost his big-time boxing match with Oleksandr Usyk last night. It was reported yesterday that The Boy was putting his money where his mouth was via the betting giant Stake.

For those who do not follow the sport, the fight between these two decorated athletes was a big deal. According to Sports Illustrated, Usyk became boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis did it in 2000. The Ukranian, who weighed in at 223 pounds, was 21-0 (14 KO) coming into the hyped-up slug fest. On the other side, Fury clocked in decisively heavier at 262 while also being undefeated at 34-1-0 (24 KO).

Drake Throws Up Another L With Tyson Fury Bet

According to Uproxx, Fury appeared to be in the lead in the early going. However, the things took a quick turn for the favorite in round nine. Most likely the deciding factor in the split decision victory for Usyk, he whaled on him with a mean and clean left hook. He still remains perfect all while taking the bragging rights and glory of claiming the WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF, and IBO titles. While it is a major L for Fury, we can only imagine how Drake is doing after dropping to 0-2 in May.

What are your thoughts on Drake losing his Tyson Fury bet? Was the latter’s fight with Oleksandr Usyk one of the better bouts in recent memory, why or why not? Is Drake at one of his lowest points of his career right now? If you bet on this fight, who do you put money on and how much? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake and boxing. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the worlds of music and sports.

Drake Lost More Than $500,000 On Tyson Fury’s Loss To Oleksandr Usyk

May 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The biggest heavyweight fight in a very long time took place on Saturday in Saudi Arabia, as undefeated four-belt holder Oleksandr Usyk faced undefeated lineal champ Tyson Fury with the undisputed heavyweight crown on the line.

The fight lived up to the billing, with the two champs impressing at different stages of the fight. Fury, the favorite coming in, looked like he was taking control in the middle rounds until a stunning flurry from Usyk in the ninth round flipped the bout on its head. Usyk rocked Fury with a left that he didn’t see coming, and then chased Fury around the ring, battering him with punches and bouncing him off the ropes before the referee stepped in for an 8-count. Fury would finish the fight, but that 10-8 round was the difference in a Usyk split decision win and a split draw on the cards, giving the slight underdog the win and all five belts.

That ninth round effort will live in the minds of many for some time, with Drake being among them for the wrong reasons. Prior to the fight, Drake posted to Instagram that he had a $565,000 bet on Fury to win, and for a long time that looked like it had a good chance to cash until that ninth round changed everything.

Drake is no stranger to taking some losses this month, as his battle with Kendrick Lamar was a resounding majority decision win for K Dot in the eyes of the public. He tossed a little over half a million onto the fire by backing Fury, as a tough May continues for The Boy.

Drake Puts All His Chips On Tyson Fury With Massive Bet On Oleksandr Usyk Fight

May 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake may have just lost a battle to Kendrick Lamar in fans’ eyes, but he’s placing big bets on another fight that, instead of losing him power or respect, will only lose him one thing if it misses: money. Moreover, he placed $565,000 via Stake on Tyson Fury to beat Oleksandr Usyk in their upcoming heavyweight championship match on Saturday night (May 18), which will crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999. If The Boy is successful in his bet on this Saudi Arabia-located match, he would win a payout of $1 million. So it’s all in for the OVO mogul, and we’ll see what happens in the ring to lift or plummet his spirits.

For those unaware, boxing fans looked forward to this match-up for a long time, especially after a delay back in February due to Tyson Fury’s training injury. However, some fans are also wary of whether or not the mythical and confirmation bias-heavy “Drake curse” will strike again. For those unaware, it’s a joke that the Toronto superstar often backs the losing team across sports, although he has more victories than people would like to give him credit for. If nothing else, at least he gambles on everyone with the same level of stakes and respect, so it’s all on the biggest stage for him.

Beyond this upcoming bout, Drake also has some other things to look forward to for 2024, including an invite to Michael Rubin’s White Party. It’s a massive annual celebrity bash full of A-listers, so we don’t doubt that it will provide some curious moments and narratives like it does every year. Most of all, it will be a nice reprieve after the absolute onslaught that was the Kendrick Lamar battle. Even the 6ix God needs a Sunday or two to rest, let alone after a pummeling.

Meanwhile, people are still chiming in on who won the beef, although public consensus seems decidedly in Kendrick Lamar’s favor. But Drake didn’t go down as many others in previous rap beefs have, and we’re sure he still has the fire to throw out subliminals and continue to focus on his flexing. Maybe the future will hold more developments in their rivalry. Still, we wouldn’t bet on anything as large-scale, relentless, or brutal as the past few weeks happening again.

French Montana And Ryan Garcia Are Training Together: “Getting Ready For Our Next Fight

May 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rappers French Montana and Ryan Garcia are training together, gearing up for whatever their next fight is. French looks like he is getting ready to enter the ring with Garcia’s helo. On Saturday, the Moroccan-American rapper posted a picture and a video of himself exercising with the boxing phenom on Instagram. A leaner Montana hinted that the two are training for Garcia’s upcoming bout. French looks like he is taking his fitness seriously and might be preparing for a celebrity boxing exhibition.

Ryan Garcia, fueled by his recent monumental win over Devin Haney, is now facing a new challenge. Despite the victory, his success has been marred by reported positive PED tests. However, Garcia has refuted these allegations very firmly. He is now preparing for his next fight with the support and assistance of French Montana. We might see the rapper walking the young boxer out in a Devin Haney rematch sooner than later.

French Montana wrote on Instagram, “Me and champ getting ready for our next fight, bet on yourself [boxing glove emoji] @kingryan.” Garcia and French Montana seem to be preparing for something, and hopefully, it will be another fight for the boxer. Ryan recently had a beef with Atlanta rapper 21 Savage for refusing to walk him out of his fight with Devin Haney. Garcia felt some type of way after 21 was seen chilling with his rival in his dressing room pre-fight. Garcia was also beefing with Kanye West for not agreeing to walk him out.

Ryan Garcia’s pre-fight antics were entertaining and wild. He admitted after the win that his erratic behavior was all a part of his master plan. Additionally, after news of his alleged PED usage came out, Garcia refuted the claims. He also admitted he was “high AF” during his fight with Devin Haney. He couldn’t take Haney’s belt because he was overweight for the fight. Furthermore, his alleged PED usage has put a damper on the fight. Fight fans are anticipating a blockbuster rematch. Hopefully, Garcia’s training with French Montana is hinting at something major being announced soon.

Tyson Fury’s Dad Left Bloody After Violent Per Fight Scrap

May 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Before this weekend’s huge bout, Tyson Fury’s father, John, headbutted a member of Oleksandr Usyk’s entourage. Fury’s dad went utterly wild, leaving a bloody mess in his wake. The fight between Fury and Usyk is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but when the camps of the Gypsy King’s fathers met on Monday, they had to get in on the combat. John approached the Ukrainian fighters group, and while “Fury” and “Usyk” yells echoed throughout the room, a chaotic confrontation broke out. John was seen headbutting someone at the front of the group despite being outnumbered.

Security had to keep the opposing sides apart at the hotel where Monday’s media event was taking place. After what seemed to be a headbutt, John Fury sustained a cut, and despite his best efforts to clean it up, blood kept coming out. As the people in Usyk’s camp yelled “Usyk, Usyk, Usyk,” he had to be restrained many times. John was quickly taken away from the scene. He then turned around and yelled, “Show some respect,” while blood poured down his face.

Tyson Fury’s Dad Had Blood Pouring From His Head

Tyson Fury’s dad, John, was asked about what exactly happened that escalated the confrontation shortly after the incident. He explained that “some little idiot” had invaded his personal space, so he was left with no choice. After the emotions died down, John, with a much cooler head, expressed his remorse. “Sincere apologies to everybody involved,” John said. “It’s just the way we are. Emotions and tensions are running high. He was a very disrespectful fella.”

John continued, “If you come close in a fighting man’s space, you’re gonna cop for something. What matters to me is respect for my son, but he wasn’t showing any of it.” John said the blood didn’t faze him one but. They are a family of generations of fighters, so it’s not supposed to. Tyson Fury takes on Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed Heavy Weight Championship on Saturday in Riyadh. Overall, the fight was already tense, but it went to another level today. Thankfully, the fight goes off without any more clashes and a lot less blood outside the ring.
