Ryan Garcia is going through one of the toughest times of his life. He admits much of his struggle is due to his own actions, and his mental state isn't right. Substance abuse is believed to be the main issue.

To get help, Garcia has decided to enter a rehab program. Before doing so, he shared a final training video, sending a strong message to other boxers.

Garcia hopes to come back stronger after his rehab and suspension. He believes his return will be intimidating for his competitors, saying they have awakened a "different warrior."

Rehab and suspension are strong motivations for Garcia to get back on track. He knows he must fulfill the promises he made to his family and the boxing organizations.

Garcia's last fight was a win against Devin Haney, but it was changed to a no contest after Garcia failed drug tests. If he returns to the ring, his first fight will likely be against a less challenging opponent.

Tyreek Hill Challenges Olympic Gold Medalist Noah Lyles To A Race

Image
Photo: Tyreek Hill, Noah Lyles (Instagram) Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has officially challenged U.S. Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles to a race. Hill wants to race Lyles in a 50-yard dash and made it clear on social media that he's serious, telling Lyles to "sign the contract." This all started after former NFL stars Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson mentioned Hill's speed, suggesting he could beat Lyles. Lyles responded by saying Hill was just seeking attention and not truly committed to racing. He pointed out that if Hill was serious, he would have already competed in big races, like D.K. Metcalf did. Lyles said he would consider racing Hill if there was a formal agreement in place. Hill seems to have taken that to heart and is now pushing for the race to happen. Photo: Tyreek Hill (Instagram) The tension between the two athletes began when Hill appeared on the "Up and Adams" show and made comments about Lyles ' performance in the 200-meter d

USA Sprinter Erriyon Knighton Faces Possible 4-Year Ban After Positive Doping Test

Image
Photo: Erriyon Knighton (Instagram) Erriyon Knighton, a 20-year-old American sprinter who just missed winning a bronze medal in the 200 meters at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is now facing a possible four-year ban from the sport.  The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) is challenging a decision made by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which found Knighton not at fault for a positive doping test before the Olympics. Knighton tested positive for Trenbolone, a substance commonly found in livestock. He claims the positive result came from eating contaminated meat from a bakery in Florida.  Photo: Erriyon Knighton (Instagram) The USADA tested the meat and an independent panel agreed that it could have caused the positive test, allowing Knighton to compete in Paris. Knighton’s attorney, Howard Jacobs, says they will fight the appeal, calling it baseless. He suggested that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) might be using Knighton to make a point in their ongoing dispute with USADA. Knighton is
