PARIS – If they had been running the tournament here at the Paris Games, International Boxing Assn. officials said Monday, the Algerian and Chinese Taipei fighters now in the medal rounds in women’s boxing, both figuring in a worldwide controversy,would never have been in the ring in the first instance.

That’s because, IBA officials said, both Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Yu Ting Lin of Chinese Taipei were disqualified at the 2023 IBA women’s world championships in New Delhi upon DNA tests that showed evidence of XY chromosomes – that is, a marker each is male.

The International Olympic Committee, which is overseeing Paris 2024 boxing, opted to base eligibility on an athlete’s passport. IBA officials suggested Monday that missed the mark, noting that as of June 2023, more than a year before these Paris Games, the IOC knew about the New Delhi DQs.

3 Wire Sports has seen the test results and a June 5, 2023 IBA letter to the IOC that says tests of Khelif, one in New Delhi, a prior test in Istanbul at the 2022 world championships, “concluded the boxer’s DNA was that of a male consisting of XY chromosomes.”

For both Khelif and Lin, the New Delhi test – from, as IBA disclosed Monday, the independent Dr Lal PathLabs – consists of three pages. In part:

The first page provides, along with basic identifying information for each athlete and date and time of sample collection, result summary – “abnormal” – and interpretation – “chromosome analysis reveals Male karyotype.” The second page offers photographic representation of the 22 paired autosomes and then, for each athlete, further depicts an X and a Y chromosome. Page three makes plain that the lab is a “national reference lab” and, as well, accredited by CAP, the Northfield, Illinois-based College of American Pathologists, and certified by the ISO, the Swiss-based International Organization for Standardization.

First, the IOC has gone to considerable lengths in promoting the Paris Olympics as a Games of female equality. For the first time in Olympic history, on the field of play it’s 50% female, 50% male.

And yet a controversy erupted over athletes testing as XY in women’s boxing.

Which the IOC knew about, in June 2023. There is no dispute about that. None

At the Istanbul worlds in 2022, each gave a blood sample. Collection was made May 17, one at 1:38 p.m., the other at 1:39 p.m. The independent Sistem Tip Lab, which as the IBA statement notes carries license No. 194-MRK, issued reports May 24.

For both athletes, there is a summary on page 2 that says the same thing. Translated per Google from Turkish:

“Result: In the interphase nucleus FISH analysis performed on cells obtained from your patient's material, 100 interphase nuclei were examined with the Cytocell brand Prenatal Enumeration Probe Kit. An XY signal pattern was observed in all of them.”

n its statement, IBA said the sole Istanbul test was “not enough to make a decision with respective consequences,” reasoning that with “one test, [a] mistake is possible.” It said lawyers “advised to monitor the situation and to contact the IOC.”

Thus, at the 2023 women’s words in New Delhi, a second test for each. This is the Dr Lal PathLabs test. Blood from both athletes was collected at 10:30 a.m. on March 17. Reports were produced March 23.

As IBA said in its statement, “The findings were absolutely identical to the first test results.”

On March 24, the then-IBA chief executive, George Yerolimpos, told Khelif and Lin they were going to be disqualified. They signed documents acknowledging they were being excluded per IBA Rule 4.2.1. The test details “were attached to the letter,” the IBA said.

That updated version of the rulebook said, “‘Women/Female/Girl’ means an individual with chromosome XX

Both athletes, meantime, were afforded the chance to appeal the DQs to the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Lin did not appeal. So, the IBA’s position is the disqualification in Lin’s case “became legal and binding.”

To follow IBA logic – Lin is still, under its rules, DQ’d. Thus, if it were running the tournament here, Lin would not be eligible.

Khelif initially appealed. On July 27, 2023, after Khelif did not opt to pay to continue the case, CAS said it was over.

Same logic — here, Khelif would be ineligible.

he/she is a victim to the left and hence is above criticism. this is an ideological position .

supporters of male on female violence (such as mothra and smith) place their ideology (their religion) above considerations of a male smashing in the face of a female

they are the most dispicable people.

they have no compassion for violence against women

thankfully, the noble men of the right are here to protect vulnerable women

an XY is NOT a vulnerable  woman

he/she is a cheat and a violent psychopath
