Garcia defeated Devin Haney, a former amateur rival, by majority decision on April 20 in New York. Garcia knocked Haney down three times and handed the WBC super lightweight champion his first loss but did not win the title because he was over the weight limit.

NBC News has not obtained the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association letter ESPN cited or verified the details in its report.
