Andy Ruiz denies shocking drug cheat allegations as he says ex-girlfriend hacked his Twitter account

Andy Ruiz has branded a series of allegations made against him 'bulls***' following an astonishing tweet sent by his own account on Friday.

The former heavyweight world champion, best known for his two fights with Anthony Joshua in 2019, has recently been involved in a bitter break-up from his ex-girlfriend Julia Lemus, who is also the mother of his children.

Last month it was reported by TMZ, who saw cited official documents, that Lemus secured a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Ruiz as she alleged he abused her sexually and physically, and abused their children physically.

Ruiz categorically denied these claims and alleged Lemus abused him physically.

On Friday, an astonishing tweet emerged on Ruiz's account, which he now claims was in fact sent by Lemus after she hacked into his account.

The tweet read: "I wanted to share with you what my life behind camp is really like!

"I love to drink codeine and smoke weed all day long. I also love purchasing prostitutes.

"After this is going on meetings to clean my blood to make sure to come out clean when VADA comes to my training camps."

The tweet was accompanied by a video of Ruiz holding two big bags of what appears to be cannabis and images of the alleged procedure supposedly used to help him evade detection in VADA drugs tests.

He then took to Instagram live and said: "My Twitter got hacked by this b**ch that I know.

"She's just mad. She's mad because I'm happy, she's mad because I'm with my girl. But I didn't post anything man…

"That's an evil person to be f***ing putting stuff out there.

"She's trying to ruin my career. You can never do that, God has bigger plans for me than to be fighting with that f***ing little girl.

"I just don't like people trying to make me look bad or trying to tell people to hate me or that I did this, I did that.

"That's all bulls***."
