Bellew Says Ryan Garcia Should Be Banned for Life

Former world champion British boxer Tony Bellew has explained why he believes American Ryan Garcia should be banned for life following a positive test for the banned substance ostarine.

"I’ve always believed that any fighter caught using performance-enhancing drugs deserves a lifetime ban. This isn’t a nasal spray; it’s a steroid. It’s unsafe.

I take a hard stance on steroid abuse and such substances—Ryan Garcia should be banned for life.

Whether you’re my friend or not, if you're caught using performance-enhancing drugs, you should be banned for life," Bellew stated for Boyle Sports.

Ryan was the first to defeat Devin Haney. Positive doping samples from Garcia were discovered after the fight.
