NutraBio, one of the manufacturers of a supplement that boxer Ryan Garcia’s legal team says contained traces of a banned substance, is firing back at the allegation.
Garcia’s legal team revealed test results for two different supplements that Garcia declared on VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) Doping Control forms prior to his fight with Devin Haney, against whom his win came under controversy after A and B samples from Garcia’s initial tests came back positive for ostarine, which is a banned performance-enhancing substance.
Garcia stunned many when he took down Haney, though the WBC super lightweight championship belt wasn’t up for grabs after the former failed his weigh-in.

One of the supplements was NutraBio’s Super Carb, which is used to boost recovery during or after workouts. It is used to help replenish glycogen stores in the muscle.
Though the tests results, which Garcia’s legal team provided to Fox News Digital, indicated that ostarine was detected in the range of 70-2,200 picograms per gram of powder (a picogram is one-trillionth of a gram), NutraBio CEO and founder Mark Glazier said it was never manufactured with banned susbtances.
"NutraBio has never manufactured a supplement with Ostarine, and has never brought Ostarine into our manufacturing facility," Glazier said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "We have a long-standing commitment to producing the highest-quality supplements, trusted by athletes worldwide.
