Athletistic / Olympic Games. The press service of the International Boxing Association (IBA) has reacted to the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to admit Inan Khelif and Lin Yuting to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France). According to the IBA, boxers should not have an unfair advantage in an international competition.
“Our organization always stands on the side of the athletes and adheres to the rules of fair competition in sport. That is why we have strict rules for admission to competitions, no athlete should receive an illegal advantage,” the IBA representative was quoted as saying.
- See it for yourself. Russia has announced a boycott of the Paris Olympics.
Algerian Iman Khelif and Taiwanese Lin Yuting have been cleared to compete in women’s boxing at the 2024 Olympics. It should be noted that these boxers were disqualified from the 2023 World Championships due to gender test failures. At the World Championships in New Delhi (India), Khelif was removed from the competition in the weight category up to 66 kg, and Lin Yuting was deprived of bronze in the weight category up to 57 kg. Through gender tests, it was proven that they have XY chromosomes, which proves that they are male.
