The purpose of this chapter is to ensure the safety of boxers and to protect the integrity of boxing in this Commonwealth by regulating the use of prohibited drugs by professional and amateur boxers. Boxers shall be in total control of their mental faculties and physical capabilities. Boxing requires acute alertness, coordination, skill and reflex ability. The risk of serious injury is readily apparent considering the nature of the sport of boxing and could be greatly increased if a boxer participates while under the influence of a prohibited drug.
