Promoter Aljoe Jaro has tapped the services of a lawyer to file a formal administrative protest to the World Boxing Council (WBC)
regarding the conduct of the WBC world strawweight title fight between champion Xiong Zhao Zhong of China and his Filipino challenger Denver Cuello in Dubai last June 28.
Jaro has informed philboxing via e-mail that the protest filed by his legal counsel, Atty. Richard S. Flores, cited the serious breach in protocol regarding the conduct of the championship, which was supposed to have urine testing for banned substances.
Jaro?s protest stated that ?no urine samples were taken before the fight.? The protest letter cited the rules regarding drug testing: ?Rule 4.9 wherein it is mandatory to take the urine sample of both boxers for laboratory test and examination for compliance of the Anti Doping Rules. We believe that it is the responsibility of the WBC Supervisor in charge, for the fight, should have strictly ENFORCED the said enumerated rules.?
The complaint also stated that after the WBC responds and investigates, Team Cuello requests for a rematch and the champion will not engage any fighter while the investigation is ongoing OR if the champion is allowed to defend his title, that Cuello will be given the mandatory right to challenge the winner.
