NutraBio, the manufacturer of one of the supplements allegedly contaminated with a banned substance that resulted in a positive drug test for boxer Ryan Garcia, has strongly denied the claims. The company asserts that they have never used banned substances in any of their products and are committed to the highest quality standards.
NutraBio, a leading manufacturer of sports supplements, has vehemently denied allegations that one of their products contained traces of a banned substance that led to a positive drug test for boxer Ryan Garcia.
Garcia's legal team recently released test results indicating the presence of ostarine, a performance-enhancing substance, in two supplements he declared on VADA doping control forms before his fight with Devin Haney. One of these supplements was NutraBio's Super Carb, designed to aid recovery during or after workouts.
However, NutraBio CEO and founder Mark Glazier has unequivocally stated that their facility has never manufactured a supplement with ostarine or brought it into their facility. He emphasized their long-standing commitment to producing high-quality supplements trusted by athletes worldwide.
"NutraBio has never manufactured a supplement with Ostarine, and has never brought Ostarine into our manufacturing facility," Glazier said in a statement. "We have a long-standing commitment to producing the highest-quality supplements, trusted by athletes worldwide."
Glazier highlighted NutraBio's industry-leading practices, including full-label disclosure and GMP certification, ensuring the quality, safety, and security of their products. He expressed the company's deep appreciation for the trust placed in them by customers and athletes.
Garcia's legal team maintained that he was clean and the positive results were due to supplement contamination, not intentional use of banned substances. They pointed to his history of negative drug tests and the low levels of ostarine detected.
While Garcia originally took to social media to sarcastically express his love for steroids, his team later clarified that he was innocent and further test results would prove it. They are scheduled to hold a press conference this week to present their findings and address questions.
The investigation into this matter is ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether NutraBio will face any repercussions or if Garcia will be cleared of any wrongdoing. However, the company's strong denial and commitment to quality control suggest they are confident in their products and practices.
