Ryan Garcia’s win over Devin Haney is now in question.

Garcia tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing drug in a test taken related to his majority decision win over Haney, according to multiple reports on Wednesday night. Garcia reportedly tested positive for Ostarine in his Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test that was taken ahead of the fight.

Garcia now has 10 days to request that his B-sample be tested. According to ESPN’s Mike Coppinger, Garcia’s first test also screened positive for 19-norandrosterone, which is another banned substance, though that is unconfirmed.

Ryan Garcia tested positive for the PED Ostarine the day before and the day of his upset win over Devin Haney, per a VADA letter obtained by ESPN.
