Germany's new harsh anti-doping measures might lead to a prominent boxing champion heading to prison. Felix Sturm (40-5-3, 1 NC, 18 KO), the current WBA super middleweight champion and former IBF and WBO champ, popped for a PED back in February, and falls under a newly-enacted bill that could see him jailed.

The news comes via ESPN.

Sturm defended his title against Fedor Chudinov in February, winning a controversial majority decision. But after the bout, he tested positive for stanozolol, an anabolic steroid.

The new law indicates that any German athlete that tests positive for PEDs could face up to three years in prison for the infraction. It also gives judges the power to convict the people that supply PEDs to athletes to up to 10 years in prison.

It should be noted that Sturm's B sample has yet to be tested, and the investigation is ongoing. Sturm has denied the accusations. He also does not reside in Germany anymore, recently moving back to his native Bosnia.

Sturm, 37, is one of the most decorated boxers in German history, winning world titles five different times in his long career.

It seems that Germany is way ahead of the curve when it comes to punishing PED users. Some MMA fans and fighters are convinced that USADA penalties, which suspend fighters from the sport for two years on a first offense, are too harsh. Can you imagine the uproar if a UFC fighter was sent to jail for doping? It'll be interesting to see how this new German law is enforced.
