Sarah Blewden Banned Boxing Breast Implants

Sarah Blewden, a model turned boxer, has been banned from the sport because of her breast implants, the Daily Mail reports. The chiefs of the Amateur Boxing Association ruled that her breast implants posed a health hazard because repeated blows to the chest could result in "'capsular contracture' or distortion if they were repeatedly hit."

Ms. Blewden calls this "ridiculous," insisting that her doctor assured her that she is at no more risk than other women.
