Conor McGregor calls for Ryan Garcia to receive a LIFETIME ban after failed drug tests as he blasts boxing sensation

CONOR MCGREGOR has called for Ryan Garcia to be given a lifetime ban following his failed drug tests.

The former interim WBC lightweight champion tested positive for the banned performance-enhancing drug Ostarine before and after his shock win over Devin Haney last month.

Traces of the SARM (selective androgen receptive modulator) – which can build lean muscle mass – were discovered in Garcia’s final pre-fight tests.

Garcia, 25, has denied intentionally ingesting the substance, the discovery of which will likely see his win overturned to a No Contest.

But that hasn’t stopped McGregor from seemingly ending their friendship by calling for him to never be allowed to box again.

In a now-deleted X post, the UFC superstar wrote: “Cheated the weight and was juiced, lifetime ban. Sad to see, sad to say. Sad and a bit sick.”

McGregor offered Garcia words of support after his defeat to Gervonta Davis last April but wants nothing more to do with ‘King’ following his positive tests.

He roared: “Don’t come near me if I see you ever Ryan Garcia. I am actually disgusted.”

The Notorious then lumped UFC men’s bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley into his rant as he’d also tested positive for Ostarine in 2018.

He added: “This Ostarine it reminds me of Sean O’Malley was on that as well.

RYAN GARCIA wore a crown worth $1million for his ring walk before fighting Devin Haney.

The American boxer’s head gear caught the eye of boxing fans before and after his shock victory.

The 25-year-old headed to the ring draped in a white robe as he wore a diamond encrusted crown.

Holding 1kg of gold and over 400 carats of diamonds the crown was made by Texas-based jeweller The Ice Champ.

Garcia’s gown was also made up of 15,000 diamonds and took 10 days to create.

He also told TMZ before the bout: “He was like ‘let’s create something where the champ of the boxing world and the champ of the jewellery world connect and make something unique. We created a unique crown.”

“Hotel, Black Forge Inn the lot. #letssparomalley and #garcia two little Ostarine heads l’ll ride you both like yous are ostriches.”

WBC super-lightweight champ Haney believes Garcia “cheated and disrespected” the sport of boxing with his failed tests.

And the American’s efforts that fateful night in Brooklyn have garnered the full respect of McGregor.

“Wtf is up,” McGregor said of Garcia. “What do you think you are at?

“If I was Haney’s dad, you’re dead no matter what for doing that. Crazy.

“What the f**k happened to you, you little fool.

“Get your head together cos I gonna smash it in with elbows if you don’t.

“Fair play Devin well done. Your performance has just become even more heroic! Bravo.”

The New York State Athletic Commission will await the result of Garcia’s B samples before beginning a disciplinary process.

He’ll likely face a lengthy ban if the NYSAC deem him to have intentionally ingested the PED, a suggestion he’s vehemently denied.

In a clip captioned, “Fake news like if I was Donald Trump,” Garcia insisted he’s ever cheated.
