YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul publicly confronted friend and fellow fighter Ryan Garcia regarding recent doping allegations.

Garcia, who defeated Devin Haney last month, reportedly tested positive for Ostarine, a banned substance that enhances muscle growth.

Garcia vehemently denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). In a clip from an Instagram live session shared by journalist Michael Benson on X, Garcia stated:

"Just because I won they do this sh*t on me. I shouldn't be dealing with this ... I don't do f**ing steroids. I've never done steroids in my life."

Paul, while expressing concern, made it clear he wouldn't tolerate cheating:

"If you did do it, then that's really f***** up bro and I'm going to be 'p***** off' with you as a friend... That's f***** up"

Garcia went on to defend himself by emphasizing the potential dangers of using PEDs in competition. He stated:

"If I did it I would quit boxing bro. I would have hurt him [Haney], I could have killed him. Why would I do that bro?"
