Terence Crawford has reacted to Ryan Garcia’s troubles as the boxer serves a year ban after failing a test for Ostarine.
Garcia’s positive test saw his Devin Haney win become a no-contest. The boxer has struggled to deal with the decision. His social media behavior saw the WBC ban him after Garcia posted derogatory comments towards Muslims, Christians and African Americans.
Garcia’s ex-wife (Andrea Celina) also accused him of breaking and entering after she denied him access to seeing his children. Celina alleged Garcia was using substances. Since then, Garcia has issued a public apology and claimed he would enter rehab. However, Garcia continues to be vocal on social media, with Crawford questioning the role of Ryan’s team.
“I don’t have a relationship with [Garcia] like that, that’s not my place. The guys that surround him, for you to call yourself a friend, a brother, a cousin, to watch a man like that self-destruct. What type of friend are you? Anything that I do that’s gonna challenge me, anything negative, or lead me down the wrong path, there’s not one person in my camp right now that wouldn’t grab me and be like ‘Hey, why you doing that?’
“Whether I agree with them or not, now there’s an argument with them because they care about me so much. ‘Imma take the fire because [I’m] wrong, and [they’re] gonna tell me I’m wrong, and [they’re] not gonna let [me] be wrong because [they] love you that much. If you go fight somebody, you gonna have to fight me…and that’s everybody in my camp, no matter who it is,” Crawford said
