Example Sentences
Boxing has undergone a major restructure in recent years after the IBA was stripped of its powers for failing to implement reforms.
This followed a major controversy in the women's boxing competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting both won golds despite being disqualified from the previous year's World Championships for allegedly failing gender eligibility tests conducted by then governing body the IBA.
This sparked scrutiny over whether the body had put inclusion over fairness and safety, and the reliability of the IBA's original tests.
But the IBA's claim that Khelif has XY chromosomes led to speculation the fighter may have been born with a DSD.
He also won a silver medal at the IBA World Junior Championships representing Albania in 2023.
