Devin Haney calls for Ryan Garcia to be permanently banned from boxing after discovering Garcia used banned substances. Haney lost to Garcia for the WBC super lightweight championship in April, but the result was later changed to a “no contest” after Garcia tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine.
Haney has come out strongly against drug use in sports, and he believes Garcia should be punished accordingly. “I don’t think tough guys should be allowed to box,” Haney said in a recent interview. “If you are caught hard, you will be banned from the exam forever.”
Haney also said he would never do drugs, even if he thought it might help him win. “I’d rather lose fairly than win nano,” he said. “That’s not manipulation.”
Garcia apologized for his drug use and said he did not intend to be difficult. However, Haney did not believe Garcia’s apology. “He had a chance to explain himself, but he didn’t,” Haney said. “I think he was just trying to stay out of trouble.”
Haney called on boxing authorities to take tougher measures against drug use. “We need to do more to remove cheaters from this sport,” he said. “Boxing is a dangerous sport, and using drugs makes it even more dangerous.”
The incident between Haney and Garcia is the latest reminder of the problem of drug use in boxing. A number of other boxers have started using doping drugs in recent years, and it is a problem that boxing’s governing bodies are struggling to tackle.
