Doctor's checkup

Before each fight the fighter has to be checked for his fitness and "fightcapability" through a doctor.
If the doctor ascertains that the  fighter is not able to fight because of illness, doping etc. the  fighter is banned from the fight. Against this decision one cannot  take legal steps.

If a fighter was doped, he has to pay all the costs (travelling, hotel and fighting fees of the opponent and a  compensation for the organiser) immediately.
The doctor also has the right to ortanise a doping checkup after the fights. If a fighter refuses to have such a checkup, his victory can be reprived.

Doping (breach)

The obligations from the international policies against doping are valid for the fighters, trainers, the doctors and all the other carers. Doping is detected through forbidden substances in the urin or blood of the fighter or through refusal to have such a check-up, tempting others or manipulating a doping check-up internally and  externally of the fight. The breach leads to a disqualification of the fighter, who has to pay all the costs.
In case of the the very first doping abuse the fighter is banned for 6 months, in the second case for 12 months and in a third case for good.
Furthermore the fighter loses his ranking and if he is in possesion of any titles, he loses them, too.
