Boxer Ryan Garcia was overheard joking about his arrest for trashing a hotel while participating in a star-studded poker tournament in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
Garcia and several other high-profile sports figures participated in the ‘Legends On The Felt’ event at Hustler Casino, including Brazilian soccer player Neymar, NBA superstar Jimmy Butler, and fellow boxer Chris Eubank Jr.
Professional poker player and social media influencer Dan Bilzerian was another famous face involved in the tournament.
At one point in the evening, Bilzerian and Eubank questioned Garcia about his recent arrest for vandalizing a Beverly Hills hotel after he allegedly caused $15,000 worth of damage to it.
Police saw the 25-year-old being led away in handcuffs after vandalizing a room at the Waldorf Astoria hotel earlier this month, before being released the next day after spending the night in jail, according to reports.
“They just wanted to take me to jail,” Garcia said, when Bilzerian asked why the hotel didn’t simply charge him for the damage.
“Everybody trashes a hotel from time to time – who doesn’t, am I wrong, Dan?”
Away from boxing
Garcia will spend a year away from boxing after receiving a suspension following his recent failed drug tests.
The super lightweight star tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine the day before and the day of his victory over Devin Haney in April, having also been nearly four pounds overweight for the fight.
Despite claiming he is a victim of “supplement contamination,” he settled with the New York State Athletic Commission on Thursday, agreeing to serve a one-year suspension and forfeit his contracted purse of $1.1 million.
Garcia’s victory over Haney, the biggest of his career to date, was also officially changed to a no-contest.
Following Thursday’s settlement, Garcia and his team issued a statement in which they maintained his innocence and pointed to the alleged “substance contamination” that they believe led to the failed tests.
The statement says: “Ryan Garcia was a victim of substance contamination, with levels measured in billions and billions of grams, which provided no advantage in the ring.
