A Muay Thai fighter in Thailand has reportedly been suspended after it was revealed that he'd competed with a titanium implant in his leg.
File this one under the "unusual stories" department. Muay Thai fighter Bandasak Chaiyasan was reportedly suspended by the World Muay Thai Council following a KO win over Noppadon Chalor in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai. Chaiyasan's suspension was due to a failure to disclose a titanium shin implant that was inserted in his leg following a training injury. More on the story from Fight State:
An unnamed contact at Bandasak Chaiyasan's training camp told Fightstate that the fighter snapped his leg when his sparring partner checked a kick during training, and the titanium implant was part of his recovery.
