Boxing Association Files Legal Complaints Against IOC Over Athlete Eligibility

The International Boxing Association plans to take legal action against the International Olympic Committee regarding the inclusion of Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting at the Olympic Games after they passed eligibility tests, as stated by the IBA.
Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting were excluded from the IBA's 2023 World Championships but won gold medals in Paris, according to the IOC's organization of boxing events.
IBA President Umar Kremlev claimed that President Donald Trump's executive order supports their legal actions against the IOC, stating it validates their efforts to protect female sports.
The IBA is filing complaints in Switzerland, France, and the United States, asserting that the IOC's actions pose safety risks for competition participants, as per Swiss law.
