A lot of these 'positive' tests in sports for PED's comes from someone thinking they are taking Compound A and it's actually Compound B or C. Example: user thinks he has obtained legit hGH but its actually Ostarine or some other peptide instead. user thinks he is using a fast acting version of testosterone but it is actually deca durabiolin instead or boldenone etc. This was brought up in Ben Johnson's case as his trainer Charlie Francis said at the time of the 1988 Olympics Johnson wasn't even using Winstrol he was using a little known and older compound furazabol. They of course had some elaborate story of how someone slipped winstrol in a a drink of Johnson's which was bullshite he likely obtained what was sold to them as furazabol and it was actually winstrol instead. It happens.

It's chemical warfare and mistakes can always happen. But Garcia acted desperate leading up to the big event. After getting destroyed by Tank Davis he couldn't afford to go down hard again. People do desperate things and take dumb chances when they are at a huge crossroads in their careers. That was dumb.

Is this sort of like the StarCaps situation that nailed a bunch of NFL players, several from the Saints?

Quick summation, StarCaps was an approved diuretic by the NFL, several players around the league were using it for weight management. StarCaps tweaked their formula and added something that was a banned substance. Since it was previously approved, and StarCaps did not inform their customers of the changed formula, no one bothered to retest it. League did their before season drug testing and popped several players around the league
