GAB BLACKLISTS 80 BOXERS FOR SUBMITTING FAKE CT SCAN

PHILIPPINES — The Games and Amusements Board (GAB) blacklisted and barred from fighting 80 professional boxers who submitted fake CT scans according to GAB Chairman Abraham Kahlil B. Mitra.
The order, which was announced based on findings by the GAB Medical Section, was signed by Mitra and Commissioners Eduard Trinidad and Matthew P. Gaston.
“The blacklisted boxers are barred from fighting. Their licenses will only be activated upon submission of new CT scans,” Mitra said.
The Board released the Order on GAB Case No. 04-17( Motu Proprio complaint vs Lory Abeleda, et. al.), dated July 7, 2017 which “ordered the BLACKLISTED and BARRED from applying for or renewing his license, transacting sith GAB, or otherwise acting as a professional licensee of the Board, until further orders of the Board upon submission of the original copy of their CT scan results”.
“Our Medical Section observed irregularities in the CT scan results submitted by the boxers.
They were fake and tampered. As a regulatory body, we must ensure that boxers are fit to fight. It is for the boxers’ welfare and health. The integrity of the sport also depends on the integrity of the licensing process of GAB,” Mitra said.
“Those in the blacklist are barred from fighting. For now, the blacklisted have a chance to re-apply once they submit CT scans that will pass the scrutiny of the GAB Medical Section. I want to make it clear that the boxers in the attached list still have the fair opportunity to apply for licenses or renewal.”
Among them are former WBC International and OPBF flyweight champion Ardin “The Jackal” Diale, current Philippine light flyweight champion Lester “Lighting Style” Abutan and former WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental light flyweight champion Jayar “The Smasher” Estremos.
