Conor McGregor sends Ryan Garcia X-rated threat and tells boxer to ‘get your head together or kill yourself’ after positive drugs test
Conor McGregor sent Ryan Garcia a chilling threat, telling the troubled boxer to ‘keep his head together or kill himself’ after testing positive for a banned substance.
Garcia failed anti-doping tests the day before and the day of his victory over Devin Haney last month. The 25-year-old – who was also 3lb overweight – tested positive for the performance-enhancing ostarine, but the results only emerged after the fight.
He has denied the cheating, but McGregor sent Garcia an X-rated message on social media, warning that if he was Haney’s father, “you’re dead either way.”
“Pull your wits together or kill yourself,” McGregor wrote before the post was deleted.
‘Cheated and was expelled, life ban. Sad to see, sad to say. Sad and a little sick. Don’t come near me if I ever see you again, Ryan Garcia.

“I’m actually disgusted… If I was Haney’s father, you’re dead anyway if you do that. Crazy. What the hell happened to you, you little idiot.
“Keep your head together (because) I’ll bash him with your elbows if you don’t. Fair play Devin well done. Your actions have become even more heroic.”
McGregor, who returns to the UFC next month after a three-year absence, also targeted fellow UFC fighter Sean O’Malley.
O’Malley tested positive for ostarine in 2019 and McGregor offered to fly both him and Garcia to Dublin for a parking lot scrap.
“I’ll pick you both up, if you want a spar, I’ll arrange flights for both of you right now for a full spar each. Hotel, blacksmith’s shop and inn all,” he wrote.
“I’ll ride you both like you’re ostriches. WTF is going on. What do you think we’re doing?’
After the results came back, Garcia insisted, “Everyone knows I don’t cheat…I’ve never used a steroid.”
