Algerian female boxer alleged of transgender after fight with Italian boxer

A dispute has erupted at the Paris Olympics regarding the participation of two female boxers, Imane Khelif and Lin Yu Ting, who were disqualified by the International Boxing Association (IBA) at last year’s world championships.

The IBA cited a failure to meet eligibility rules, with President Umar Kremlev stating that the boxers had XY chromosomes.

However, the IOC, which oversees the boxing competition, does not test for gender, and there is no evidence that either boxer has XY chromosomes or elevated testosterone levels.

Both athletes have competed in numerous international events, including the Tokyo Olympics and several world championships.

The IBA’s disqualification decision has been criticized as arbitrary and lacking proper procedure.

The IOC has expressed support for the boxers, stating that the controversy is based on an unjust decision.

The situation has sparked debate and criticism from various individuals, including politicians and sports figures, who have raised concerns about fairness and the treatment of the athletes.

The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between the IOC and IBA, which has faced issues with judging scandals, bribery, and governance concerns.

The IOC has taken control of Olympic boxing and decertified the IBA, with a new organization, World Boxing, emerging as a potential replacement.
