UFC superstar Conor McGregor has launched a scathing verbal attack on boxer Ryan Garcia. The controversy stems from allegations that Garcia used performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) during his fight against Devin Haney last month.
The allegations against Garcia surfaced after it was revealed that he tested positive for a banned substance, Ostarine, on two separate occasions – the day before and the day of his fight against Haney. This revelation has not only cast a shadow over Garcia's victory but also prompted a furious response from McGregor.
Taking to social media, McGregor expressed his utter disdain for Garcia's alleged actions, labeling them as a "disgusting" act of cheating. In a now-deleted post, McGregor called for a lifetime ban for Garcia, accusing him of "running from being tested" and bringing the sport into disrepute. The Irish fighter went on to compare Garcia's situation to that of UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley, who was previously suspended for testing positive for the same PED.
McGregor's comments have sparked a heated debate among fans and pundits alike, with many expressing their support for the UFC star's stance on PED use in combat sports. However, others have criticized McGregor for his harsh words, pointing out that Garcia has denied any wrongdoing and has suggested that the positive test may have been a result of a contaminated supplement.
Despite the controversy, the situation remains unresolved, with Garcia and his team contesting the test results and calling for a re-examination of the evidence. The boxing world now waits with bated breath to see how this saga will unfold, and whether McGregor's words will have any bearing on the outcome.
