Paris: The Algerian and Taiwanese boxers embroiled in a row over gender in sport at the Paris Olympics were disqualified from the 2023 World Championships after a sex chromosome test ruled both of them ineligible, the International Boxing Association said on Monday.<\/p>\n
A storm erupted over the participation of Algeria\u2019s Imane Khelif and Taiwan\u2019s Lin Yu-ting at the Olympics after Khelif\u2019s Italian opponent pulled out of their bout less than a minute into the fight after taking a barrage of punches.<\/p>\n
IBA chief executive Chris Roberts said he could not disclose the results of the gender eligibility tests but that the pair\u2019s disqualification from the 2023 women\u2019s World Championships meant the public could \u201cread between the lines\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe results of the chromosome tests demonstrated both boxers were ineligible,\u201d Roberts told reporters.<\/p>\n
He said the results of the tests had been sent to the IOC in June last year and that it had done \u201cnothing with it\u201d.<\/p>\n
The IOC says the IBA is a discredited organisation and has said the tests were ordered on arbitrary grounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are talking about women\u2019s boxing. We have two boxers who were born as women, raised as women, who have passports as women and who have competed for many years as women and this is a clear definition of a woman,\u201d IOC President Thomas Bach told a press conference on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was never any doubt about them being women.\u201d<\/p>\n
The furore has swept social media and seen people such as J. K. Rowling and Tesla founder Elon Musk voice their opposition to the two boxers competing at the Games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
