(b)   At the request of the Commission or its authorized representative or the ringside physician, a participant or assigned official shall submit to a test of body fluids to determine the presence of drugs, or a test measuring the presence of alcohol. The promoter shall be responsible for any costs associated with testing. At the request of the Commission or the ringside physician, a participant shall submit to a test of body fluids to determine the presence of anabolic steroids.

(c)   A laboratory test that results in a finding of the presence of a drug or alcohol, anabolic steroids, or the refusal of a participant or assigned official to submit to the test shall be grounds for a summary suspension of the participant or official's license as provided for by the Commission.

(d)   If the test results in a finding of the presence of a drug or alcohol, or anabolic steroids, or if the participant is unable or refuses to provide a sample of body fluids for such a test, a complaint shall be filed under the procedures of the Commission.

(e)   At the completion of a suspension ordered by the Commission in accordance with the provisions of this section based on a finding of the presence of drugs, a participant or official shall submit to a test of body fluids. The results of the test shall be negative for all drugs tested before a participant is allowed to compete again or an official is assigned to officiate again.
