A certain cosmetic surgeon administered exosomes, stem cell culture supernatant, intravenously to a top athlete and world champion professional boxer, and the case was heavily promoted in a press release and on YouTube.
This is an outrageous medical procedure and would never be tolerated in the sports world.
Complete doping.
Doping has recently come under strict scrutiny even in professional boxing.
I have been involved in professional boxing for 25 years as a professional boxing trainer, and as a fellow cosmetic surgeon I believe this is a major event.
Why doping?
1. The intravenous administration of unnecessary drugs to speed up recovery or improve physical performance.
2: Exosomes containing growth factors that are clearly prohibited from administration and are on the negative list are being administered.
3: Administration of unauthorized substances is not permitted.
It is impossible to administer pure exosomes, as they become contaminated with various cytokines, including growth factors, during the manufacturing process.
Also, there are no cosmetic surgeons who can clearly tell us the specific ingredients and their amounts. (If there are, I would like to know.)
The professional boxer probably didn't know about doping because he didn't have any knowledge about it. This cosmetic surgeon's outrageous act is so outrageous that it could wipe out the career of a professional boxing world champion.
Athletes should never receive stem cell culture supernatant or exosome infusions.
This is outright doping.

There has been a lot of ethics surrounding cosmetic surgeons being highlighted in recent posts made inappropriately in an attempt to look good on Instagram, but isn't this also a big problem?
