N.Y. Boxing, Sparring and Wrestling § 25 — Examination by physician; cost

* § 25. Examination by physician; cost. 1. All boxers must be examined by a physician designated by the commission before entering the ring and each such physician shall immediately file with the commission a written report of such examination. The cost of any such examination, as prescribed by a schedule of fees established by the commission, shall be paid by the corporation conducting the contest or exhibition to the commission, which shall then pay the fee covering such cost to the examining physician, in accordance with the rules of the commission.

2. Any professional boxer licensed under this chapter rendered unconscious or suffering head trauma as determined by the attending physician shall be immediately examined by the attending commission physician and shall be required to undergo neurological and neuropsychological examinations by a neurologist including but not limited to a computed tomography or medically equivalent procedure. Any boxer so injured shall not appear in any match or exhibition until results of such examinations are reviewed by the commission. The results of all such examinations herein required shall become a part of the boxer's permanent medical record as maintained by the commission and shall be used by the commission to determine whether a boxer shall be permitted to appear in any future boxing match or exhibition. The costs of all such examinations called for in this subdivision and subdivision three shall be assumed by the state if such examinations are performed by a physician approved by the commission.

3. The commission may at any time require a licensed boxer to undergo a physical examination, including any neurological or neuropsychological test or procedure.
