The International Boxing Association IBA has announced that it will complain to the Minister of Justice of the International Olympic Committee.
International Olympic Committee KOK Allow Boxer Imane Khelifin Sports at the Paris Olympics, even though the International Boxing Association IBA had closed him from the World Cup. According to IBA, Khelif did not meet the terms of participating in the women’s series. The same fate was experienced by Taiwan Lin yu-ting.
Throughout the race, Khelif was the center of the uproar, but it did not affect his competitive performance. The Algerian won the Olympic gold in Paris in women’s 66 kg. Lin also won his 57kg Olympic gold in his series.
Now IBA has announced that it will complain to the Minister of the Switzerland To Stefan Blatterand similar complaints are also being made in France and the United States.
In its challenge, IBA appealed to sex -related safety. IBA also justified his position as a US President Donald Trump an implementation order that prohibited transgender women in female sports. Trump has called Khelif as a “male boxer”.
Khelif commented on IBA’s activities in his announcement. According to him, the union has once again made unjustified accusations that are both false and offensive. Khelif reminded that the IBA no longer recognizes IBA, and according to Khelif, it was not just about him. It applies to the principles of justice and justice in sports.
– For two years, I have been on this way when my name and image have been used without permission to promote personal and political goals by spreading unfounded lies and false information. Silence is no longer an option. I’m not going anywhere. I fight in the ring, fight in courts and fight in public until the truth is undeniable, Khelif wrote.
According to the ICA, the IBA announcement was again only one example of the IBA campaign against the IBA. The coke has demanded a Russian Umar Kremljov led by IBA to change its policies and was responsible for, among other things, the boxing arrangements of the Paris Olympics.
The Finnish Boxing Association also resigned from IBA in 2023 and applied for a new sports association to be a World Boxing. IBA has been rushed in numerous refereeing, doping and corruption scandals and has been dependent on Russian funding from Gazprom from oil and gas giant.
The future of boxing at the Olympics is still uncertain, and the KOK has not included the sport in the Los Angeles Olympic program.
For example Marko Laine Has hoped that the new World Boxing Federation would get enough land in the background and be able to organize the Olympic boxing for the Los Angeles Games 2028.
