Ryan Garcia is currently suspended from boxing for one year after testing positive for the banned substance Ostarine, but he’s still enjoying himself.
Over the weekend, Garcia was spotted playing high-stakes poker with NBA star Jimmy Butler and worldwide soccer star Neymar.
During the game, Garcia got drunk and began annoying his fellow players. At one point, it appeared that Butler was ready to strangle Garcia, who was acting a fool for the cameras.
Ryan Garcia: you were cold on the Bulls
Jimmy Butler: appreciate it, that was some good years
Ryan Garcia: which team you play for now ??
Jimmy Butler: Miami
Ryan Garcia: oh yeah I don’t know even why I asked pic.twitter.com/8iTCjzoFOf

Despite Garcia’s antics, Neymar was able to make a series of big plays that won him over half a million from high-stakes poker player Alan Keating, who kept losing over and over again on the same hand.
