Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan were disqualified from the International Boxing Association’s world championships last year .

The IBA claimed the fighters had failed unspecified eligibility tests — the same tests that ignited a massive controversy about gender regulations and perceptions in sports this week .

The International Olympic Committee has decades of mostly bad history with the beleaguered governing body.

The IBA has been stripped of its Olympic credentials and ran the past two Olympic boxing tournaments with a task force.

The IOC advised its governing bodies to prevent Russian athletes from competing with their flags and anthems after Putin ’s forces invaded Ukraine in 2022 .

IBA is making a last-ditch appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal against its Olympic banishment.

Boxing executives like Boris Van Der Vorst are frustrated by Kremlev 's comments.
