    A one year suspension in pro boxing is a joke. In other sports where you compete every week or every month you get two years. Pro boxers at this level compete once every 6-12 months so it's basically a slap on the wrist.

      A lot of times in the NFL the suspension is 4 weeks for PED’s

        Asking boxing to be clean is like asking proastitutes to be clean. Strong incentives and penalties will help, but it will never be 100%.

          What Ryan did to Haney is a hate crime. That’s what ppl are trying to turn this into. In reality is the guy that wasn’t supposed to lose was smacked around all night. Just turn it into a race thing that is what everyone wants

            Why only one year? Why not have him banned from the sport entirely? Looks like Haney's future has revolved around and depended on Garcia's presence.

                He hasn't been keeping up with boxing then.

                Conor Benn had a test overturned
                Nery was suspended for about a year
                Canelo was suspended for just under a year

                Garcia's suspension is about right.

                  There seems to be a drastic difference between how fighters feel about PED use and the average message board dummy. Surprising.

                    Have to agree with Shakur he is right boxing needs to get harder on the cheats. The sport is dangerous enough without performance enhancing drugs. Imagine if Tank Davis was on something when he knocked out Frank Martin thank god he wasn’t on anything

                      And Devin is already begging for a rematch
                      Maybe realizing he ain’t got chit without a good dance partner
                      Kind of hypocritical I’d say
