Показать описание
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Paris 2024 officials held a joint press conference on Friday (2 August) amid the boxing gender test controversy.
The IOC has defended its decision to allow two boxers who failed a gender eligibility test to compete at Paris 2024.
Algeria’s Imane Khelif was disqualified hours before her gold-medal bout at the women’s World Championships in New Delhi last year after she failed to meet the International Boxing Association’s (IBA) eligibility criteria, that prevent athletes with male XY chromosomes competing in women’s events.
Taiwan’s double world champion Lin Yu-ting lost her bronze medal at the same competition, after she too failed to meet the criteria.
