The International Boxing Association (IBA) held a news conference in Paris to address questions surrounding the eligibility tests that led to the suspension of boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting from last year's world championships. The IBA faced criticism for lack of transparency as it refused to disclose details about the tests and their results.
During the conference, it was revealed that blood tests were conducted on only four fighters out of hundreds at the 2022 world championships. The IBA admitted to testing Khelif and Lin based on complaints from other teams, raising concerns about profiling standards in sports.
