Embattled boxer Ryan Garcia's drug test samples collected before his fight against Devin Haney returned two positive tests for banned performance-enhancing drugs, according to boxing writer Dan Rafael. 

"Ryan Garcia’s B sample results were returned Thursday a.m., 1 day after being opened," Rafael tweeted. "I have the lab reports & the B samples, as expected, matched A samples – both are positive for the banned PED Ostarine related to VADA tests the day before & after Haney fight."
