After announcing that he was retiring from boxing on June 19 following a ruling that he would be suspended for a year due to testing positive for a banned substance, Ryan Garcia clarified that his retirement will only last 365 days.
"I'm retiring for a year. So they don't get the [satisfaction] for suspending me cause it's bull," Garcia told TMZ Sports on Sunday. "I never took steroids in my life."
Garcia was suspended due to positive tests for the performance-enhancing drug ostarine. As part of a settlement with the New York State Athletic Commission on Thursday, Garcia forfeited his disclosed fight purse of $1.
