Yes, you do. You don't have to take the medical, but you need to be able to
pass it.

That's why failing the medical or having one suspended disqualifies you.

If you disagree, explain why you cannot fail a medical or have it suspended
and still fly as a sport pilot.

Nope, there is nothing "implicit" in the rules and they are quite clear.

There is a great deal implicit in the rules. It looks exactly like a loophole
by design--one that can potentially trap pilots and one that can potentially
protect the FAA from liability.

To fly as a light sport pilot there is no requirement that one has ever
seen a physican of any kind at any time in their life, only the requirement
that they be safe to fly.

Why does the FAA disqualify sport pilot applicants who have failed a medical,
if they can safely fly?
