Medical Examination of Boxer, Mixed Martial Arts Competitor and Referee Applicants.
 
(1) Any applicant for a license as a boxer or professional mixed martial arts contestant or as a referee, who resides in this state at the time of application shall be examined by a physician approved by the commission pursuant to 230-020-0215.
 
(2) Physicals must be accompanied by the witnessed collection of lab specimens accomplished at the time of the examination. Results of the examination, with reports of the laboratory analysis of the specimens attached to the examination form, must be submitted directly to the Commission on a form provided by the Commission.
 
(3) An applicant for a license as a boxer, professional mixed martial arts competitor, or referee who does not reside in Oregon at the time of application may submit proof of medical qualification if the examination is performed by a physician authorized to perform such examinations by the state or nation in which the examination is conducted and if it is conducted in accordance with Commission's instructions including the use of applicable forms provided by the Commission.
 
(4) Annual renewal examination. Any boxer's, professional mixed martial arts competitor's, or referee's renewal application must be accompanied by a report of an updated medical exam. The examining physician may require laboratory testing at the applicant's expense, if in the judgment of the physician the applicant's win/loss record, number of TKOs, age, or other history warrants the testing. The results of the medical examination, including the results of laboratory tests, should be submitted at least 14 days prior to renewal date. Any delay in submitting the report of the results of the medical examination or the laboratory tests may delay a decision on the renewal of the license.

(6) Boxer, mixed martial arts competitor, or referee applicants for initial or renewal licensing must also submit evidence that the applicant has, within the previous 30 days, been tested for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C and that the results of such tests were negative.
 
(7) An applicant for renewal of a license as a boxer or mixed martial arts competitor and the applicant's manager are jointly responsible for submitting the report of the results of the medical examination and laboratory testing, including HIV test.
 
(8) An application for a license or for renewal of a license as a boxer, mixed martial arts contestant, or referee will be denied if the applicant's medical examination indicates the presence of prohibited substances, as described in OAR 230-020-0450. The Superintendent will not consider a reapplication for a period of 30 days from the date of denial. If, after reapplication, a second test reveals the presence of prohibited substance, the Superintendent will not consider a reapplication for a period of 180 days from the date of the first license denial under this section.
