Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024

(1) The administration or use, by injection or otherwise, of any of the prohibited substances specified in subsection (4) of this rule or stimulants of any type to or by any boxer, mixed martial arts competitor, or referee is prohibited. The Director or other Commission representative may order a test for the presence of such prohibited substances immediately prior to or after a boxing or mixed martial arts match. If the test results indicate the presence of any prohibited substances, the Superintendent may revoke or suspend the license or impose a civil penalty, or both.

(2) At any other time, if the Director or other Commission representative has reasonable cause to believe that a boxer, mixed martial arts competitor, or referee has used or is under the influence of a prohibited substance, the Director may require the boxer, mixed martial arts competitor, or referee to submit to a test for the presence of prohibited substances. If prohibited substances are found to be present, the Superintendent may revoke or suspend the license or impose a civil penalty, or both.

(3) Refusal to submit to any test for prohibited substances at the time such test is ordered shall be grounds for immediate suspension of the boxer's, mixed martial arts contestant's, or referee's license. Such license shall not be reinstated for a period of at least 180 days and only then, upon submission to the Director of test results showing an absence of prohibited substances.

(4) "Prohibited substances" include but are not limited to any "controlled substance" as defined in ORS 475.005(6), alcohol, or any performance enhancing substance.

(5) All tests for prohibited substances ordered or required by the Commission or its representative shall be at the expense of the boxer, mixed martial arts competitor, or referee.

(6) All licenses granted or reinstated under circumstances where test results at one time indicated the presence of prohibited substances may contain conditions calling for further testing on a scheduled or random basis as ordered by the Director.

(7) If the winner of a boxing or mixed martial arts competition is found to have used a prohibited substance, the competition shall be declared "no contest."
