Two boxers have caused an uproar after being allowed to compete against women at the Paris Olympics despite having previously failed gender eligibility tests. Both have won gold medals against women at different international boxing competitions.
Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu‑ting of Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) both were stripped of medals at the 2023 world championships in New Delhi after event organizers — the International Boxing Association — determined the fighters were ineligible.
Khelif, 25, was disqualified and lost a gold medal while Lin, 28, lost a bronze.
