Kazuto Ioka responds to questions at a news conference on May 19 in Tokyo. (Takayuki Kakuno) The Japan Boxing Commission (JBC) announced on May 19 that it would not discipline four-division world champion Kazuto Ioka because it could not certify a violation of doping rules following his successful title defense in late December.  JBC officials acknowledged shoddy handling of urine samples taken from Ioka, 32, the first Japanese boxer to hold championship belts in four weight classes. Ioka held a news conference on May 19 and said, “Total responsibility for this incident rests with the JBC. I hope it will establish a system that never again leads to such a poor handling of the testing.”
