Welp, it looks like Conor McGregor is not here for Ryan Garcia.
McGregor is the latest star to react to shocking reports that claim Garcia used performance-enhancing drugs and allegedly failed a pre-fight drug test that overshadowed his shocking upset with Devin Haney on April 20.
In a since-deleted tweet, McGregor called for Garcia to receive a lifetime boxing ban. He said, “Cheated the weight and was juiced, lifetime ban,” McGregor wrote. “Sad to see, sad to say. Sad and a bit sick. Don’t come near me if I see you ever Ryan Garcia. I am actually disgusted.”
Garcia has caught wind of McGregor’s comment and has since responded on Twitter as well. He tweeted, “If I see Connor McGregor. I’m going to break your weak a— ankle. You ran from being tested bc you were on Roids. Roadhouse or ROIDRAGE. FUDGE CONNOR CACA BRAIN.”

More On The Shocking Reports:
As previously reported, earlier this week, a report stated that Garcia allegedly tested positive for a PED called Ostarine.
Dan Rafael, a longtime boxing reporter, was the first to report the breaking news. He said, “BREAKING: Per multiple sources with knowledge of the results, Ryan Garcia tested positive for the banned PED Ostarine in a VADA test related to the Haney fight. #boxing.” Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated also confirmed Rafael’s report.
Garcia has since denied these claims and said he would not do a rematch with Devin Haney. “Everybody knows that I don’t cheat,” Garcia said in a video posted on X on Wednesday night. He continued, “Never taken a steroid … I don’t even know where to get steroids. … I barely take supplements. Big lies.”
Meanwhile, Haney who lost to Garcia last month also released a statement of his own saying, “We learned about this situation not too long ago and it’s unfortunate Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans and the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and breaking positive not once, but twice,” Haney said in a statement to ESPN, adding: “This puts the fight in a completely different light.”
