Report NEW YORK - Former world heavyweight champion Muham mad Ali underwent emergency tests today for a mysterious ail ment that has sapped his energy, slurred his speech and slowed his walk to a shuflle. As Ali, 42, underwent the tests in the neurological ward of Co-, lumbia Presbyterian Hospital, his personal doctor, Martin Ecker told Reuters he thought there was a possibility Ali might be suf fering from an ailment known as Boxer's Parkinson's, but not from Parkinson's Disease itself. Boxer's Parkinson's results from the trauma of being hit frequently in the head. It produces seme symptoms of the neurological dis order Parkinson's Disease, includ ing a mask-like facial appearance, a shuffling gait and muscular rig idity. Ecker ruled out whispered pos sibilities that Ali was either suf fering from being "punch-drunk" or from Alzheimer s Disease, i s 1 f i ....., J ,U . , , . i - - f - ) i . . .-!.. -.. .4.1.. , which has symptoms similiar to senility. Howard Sraailowitz. a spokes man for Columbia Presbyterian, said the tests would probably be concluded by early next week. He declined to speculate on what might be ailing the fighter, who dominated boxing for years until his retirement in 1981. Ali is considered by some to be the greatest heavyweight ever. Asked if Ali had Parkinson's Disease, Smallowitz said, "If we had a definitive diagnosis, there'd be no purpose in taking any tests." Ali was discharged from the same hospital eight days ago after being admitted for undisclosed reasons. He then left on a busi ness trip to West Germany. Ali joked and made light of his medical problems but admitted he did not know what was wrong with him, at Kennedy Interna tional Airport Tuesday night. The terrible truth is that I dont know. I always feel very tired, but I don't feel no pain," he said.
