Conor McGregor Calls for Lifetime Ban for Ryan Garcia After Failed Drug Test
In a now-deleted tweet, UFC star Conor McGregor lashed out at boxer Ryan García, calling for a lifetime ban after it was revealed that García tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine following his victory over Devin Haney.
The Irish fighter took to social media to express his outrage, mentioning UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley in his message as well. McGregor’s tweet, which has since been removed, stated, “You missed the weight and were juiced…lifetime suspension. It’s sad to see, it’s sad to say. Sad and a little sick. Don’t come near me if I ever see you, Ryan García. I’m actually upset.”
García’s positive test came just before his unexpected win over Haney in April. The young boxer has denied intentionally taking any banned substances, but McGregor’s strong words have sparked controversy in the combat sports world.
McGregor continued to criticize García in his tweet, stating, “If I were Haney’s father, you’d be dead no matter what for doing that. Crazy. What the f— happened to you, you little fool?”
Despite the backlash, García maintains his innocence, claiming he did not knowingly take any prohibited substances. The situation has stirred up heated discussions about doping and fair play in sports.
It remains to be seen whether any action will be taken against García in light of McGregor’s call for a ban. Stay tuned for updates as the story unfolds.
