In a now-deleted post on a social media platform, Conor McGregor publicly slammed boxer Ryan Garcia for his recent failed drug test. The controversy arose when Garcia allegedly tested positive for the banned substance ostarine both before and after his surprise victory over Devin Haney in April. Not only that, but Garcia also came in three pounds over the weight limit for the fight.
Naturally, Haney and his team were outraged by these developments. McGregor, who sympathized with Haney and his father, didn't hold back in his post. He stated that if he were Haney's father, Garcia would be facing serious consequences for his actions.
But McGregor didn't stop there. He also took the opportunity to criticize UFC star Sean O'Malley, who had also tested positive for ostarine in the past. However, it was later determined that the levels of the substance in his system were consistent with taking a contaminated supplement, and he was not at fault.
McGregor's rant didn't mince words, and he ended it with a chilling message for Garcia, who has openly struggled with mental health issues. Despite Garcia's denial of intentionally taking any banned substances, McGregor was disgusted by his actions and didn't hold back in expressing his disgust.
As for Haney, he has stated that he is not interested in a rematch with Garcia. The American suffered his first loss that night, and his team has even called for the fight to be declared a no-contest in order to preserve his perfect record. McGregor praised Haney's performance and called it even more heroic in light of the new developments.
In the end, McGregor's message to Garcia was clear: get your act together or face the consequences. His strong words may have been shocking and controversial, but they were a reflection of his passionate stance against cheating in the world of sports. Whether or not Garcia will heed McGregor's warning remains to be seen.
