Ryan Garcia Announces Retirement Amid Doping Controversy and Personal Struggles

Controversial boxer Ryan Garcia declared his retirement from boxing on social media Wednesday, just before a crucial ruling from the New York State Athletic Commission. This announcement follows Garcia's positive drug test for ostarine before and after his April 20th victory over Devin Haney. The commission is expected to decide whether to suspend Garcia or even overturn his win. Garcia's decision comes amidst a series of personal struggles, including his mother's cancer diagnosis, a divorce, a lawsuit, and online criticism. He was also recently arrested for vandalism in Beverly Hills. Garcia has publicly expressed his struggles, stating, "While I'm going thru a really hard time in my life I'm human I'm not God I will make mistakes." His current situation draws parallels to Mike Tyson, who also faced personal turmoil during his boxing career.
