Ryan Garcia reacts to Donald Trump verdict: Troubled boxer weighs in after former President is found guilty of 34 felony charges

Troubled boxer Ryan Garcia has offered his thoughts on the outcome of the trial of former US President Donald Trump.

Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a Manhattan court room on Thursday afternoon.

Garcia, who has been photographed with the ex-President in the past, is a supporter of his and tweeted that he would stick with Trump going into November's general election.

'Just like that, the new president,' Garcia tweeted. 'He will still win, Just watch [USA flag emoji]'.

He followed that up with: 'Donald T If you are reading this We are with you Stay strong.'

Social media reacted to the post, with many drawing a parallel to Trump's felony convictions and Garcia's multiple positive tests for performance enhancing drugs in his recent fight with Devin Haney.

'A PED user supporting a convicted felon, why doesn't it [surprise] me LMAO,' wrote one user.

Another said, 'Cheaters love Cheaters!'

Both of those tweets are references to recent news that both of Garcia's drug test samples tested positive for the PED ostarine.

But just this evening, Garcia's legal team have claimed that a new series of tests prove his innocence and that the other samples may have been contaminated.

'The test results from samples of two supplements declared by Ryan Garcia on VADA Doping Control Forms, signed on April 19th and 20th, have returned positive for Ostarine contamination,' the statement read.

'This confirms what we have consistently maintained: Ryan was a victim of supplement contamination and has never intentionally used any banned or performance-enhancing substances. Any claims to the contrary, questioning Ryan's integrity as a clean fighter, are unequivocally false and defamatory. 

'Throughout his career, Ryan has voluntarily submitted to numerous tests, all of which have returned negative results, underscoring his commitment to fair and clean competition. 

'Additionally, multiple negative tests leading up to his fight against Haney further affirm his clean record. 

'The ultra-low levels of Ostarine detected in his samples, in the billionth of a gram range, along with his clean hair sample proves contamination rather than intentional ingestion. 

'The recent test results reiterate this. A press conference will be held next week to provide more insight and answer questions. More details on the conference will be announced in the coming days.'

In the past, Garcia maintained his innocence and said 'everybody knows that I don't cheat.' 

He's also suggested that his support for Trump may have made him a target for increased scrutiny in testing.

'Hmm I'm seen with trump and now I'm positive for steroids this is a straight attack Crazy,' Garcia tweeted out on May 1.

He also said that the accusations were 'Fake news like I'm Trump' in an Instagram rant about the report.
