‘People die, this isn’t a joking matter’: Devin Haney on Garcia’s failed drug test
Devin Haney has hit back strongly against Ryan Garcia’s latest comments.
Devin Haney has issued a response to the news of Ryan Garcia’s failed drug test — to which Garcia has also already responded in his typical fashion of “things he’s seen other people do online.”
“We learned about this situation not too long ago and it’s unfortunate Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans and the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and (testing) positive not once, but twice,” Haney said.
“I’ve always been an advocate for clean fighting and this is an example of such. Ryan owes the fans an apology, and by his recent Tweet he still thinks this is a joke. We put our lives on the line to entertain people for a living. You don’t play boxing.
“This puts the fight in a completely different light. Despite the disadvantage, I still fought on my shield and got back up!
“People die in this sport. This isn’t a joking matter.”
Golden Boy has also issued a statement saying they believe Garcia that he never knowingly took the banned PED.
