Conor McGregor believes that boxer Ryan Garcia should receive a lifetime ban for the sport after he tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance ostarine ahead of his upset win over Devin Haney.
“Cheated the weight and was juiced, lifetime ban,” the professional MMA fighter wrote on X. “Sad to see, sad to say. Sad and a bit sick. Don’t come near me if I see you ever Ryan Garcia. I am actually disgusted.”

According to a letter from the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, his urine was tested before the fight , but the results were not received until after. The boxer’s urine sample also screened positive for 19-norandrosterone.
Garcia hopped on X to defend himself. He denies all allegations of doping.

“Everybody knows that I don’t cheat,” Garcia said in the video. “Never taken a steroid. … I don’t even know where to get steroids. … I barely take supplements. Big lies, I beat his ass.”
