Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting failed sex tests failed by Olympic boxing medallists.

Umar Kremlev , the president of the World Boxing Association , defended his slur on Thomas Bach as a “sodomite’s’.” It truly entered the theatre of the absurd when he said: “We don’t verify what they have between their legs”.

Some members of the Algerian delegation staged their own impromptu press conference at the back of the room to support Khelif .

Roumaysa Boualam told French journalists about the psychological impact on her team-mate, before striking up a chant of “ One , two , threevive l’Algérie !” Unable to make themselves heard any longer, the IBA hierarchy finally called a halt to the madness.
