Boxing is suddenly in the middle of a scandal at the Paris Olympics after a pair of fighters — Algeria's Imane Khelif and Chinese Taipei's Lin Yu-ting — started competing at the Games despite failing unspecified gender eligibility tests in 2023.
The article from MSN Sports discusses the ongoing gender issues in boxing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. It outlines the timeline of events leading up to the Games, highlighting the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision to exclude the International Boxing Association (IBA) from organizing the boxing events due to governance, financial transparency, and ethical issues. Instead, the IOC has taken direct control of the boxing qualifiers and the Olympic tournament. The gender issues stem from the IBA's previous policies and the lack of parity in opportunities for female boxers, which the IOC aims to address by ensuring equal representation and opportunities. The article also mentions the efforts to reform boxing's governance to align with Olympic values, including gender equality, and the challenges faced in implementing these changes amidst ongoing disputes and the need for a new international boxing federation to be recognized by the IOC.
