MEDICAL
Applicable from GP Portugal, 28-30 January, 2022
• Bleeding injuries
During a contest a bleeding injury may be treated by the doctor on two (2) occasions. If the same bleeding requires treatment for the third time, the referee should declare the opponent the winner by kiken-gachi. However, the IJF Ad Hoc Commission in consultation with the IJF Medical Commissioner can decide to allow the same bleeding injury to be treated more than two (2) times. If bleeding cannot be stopped, the IJF Medical Commissioner will inform the referee who declares the opponent the winner by kiken-gachi.
• Finger/toe dislocation
For the preservation of athletes’ joint health, especially of those who lack experience in self-treatment, athletes are allowed to seek medical help for finger/toe joint resetting, including resetting and taping to secure the joint.
