Imane Khelif has been subject to a lot of criticism after her gold medal win in Paris
The International Olympic Committee is set to make a huge decision to protect women in sports following the controversy surrounding boxer Imane Khelif.
Imane Khelif was asked to return her gold by IBA President Umar Kremlev. The new president did, however, announce her plans for a new expert group who would be set up specifically to protect women in sports following on from Khelif's controversial participation. Speaking in her first meeting, Coventry said: "There was overwhelming support that we should protect the female category. And with that, we will set up a working group made up of experts and international federations.
The IOC suspended its recognition of IBA in 2023, which meant they had no control in the handling of the boxing event in Paris.
