Whenever a licensed contestant, because of injuries or illness, is unable to take part in a contest for which he/she is under a contract or bout agreement, he/she (or his/her manager) must immediately report the specific injury or illness to a Commission Representative. Contestants with an injury or illness which prevents participation in a contest shall serve a medical suspension. The contestant shall submit to an examination and receive written clearance for the specific injury or illness by a physician prior to the suspension being lifted.
